Answ, 2 Secondly, Let your hearts be acted by Divine Principles, let it come from faith, and whatsoever comes from you to be tendered up unto God, look to your principles; rest not in the action that is done but consider from what principles those services come you tender up unto God.
Answ, 3 Thirdly, Let your ends be high in all your services, Oh take heed of base and low ends in all your sacrifices. It is too too much that men should have base and low ends in their outward affairs, they should have their hearts high upon the glory of the great God in their natural, in their civil actions, but when they come to their sacrifices and holy duties, then sursum Corda, then lift up your hearts indeed, be sure then your ends be high and holy.
Answ, 4 Fourthly, Let your whole strength be taken up in those sacrifices so as to sanctify the Name of God, Let the whole soul be carried unto God, for God is worthy of the whole, if you had ten thousand times more strength than you have God is worthy that it should be put forth in the services you tender unto him.
Answ, 4 Fourthly, Let your whol strength be taken up in those sacrifices so as to sanctifie the Name of God, Let the whol soul be carried unto God, for God is worthy of the whol, if you had ten thousand times more strength than you have God is worthy that it should be put forth in the services you tender unto him.
