Thirdly, and lastly, Let us exalt God in our lives. Take heed, I beseech you, of honouring God in our duties, and dishonouring of him in our conversations, of exalting of him with our tongues, and casting him down in our lives: This were to imitate those wretched Jews, who carried up our Saviour to the top of the Mountain, that they might throw him down the precipice, and break his neck: Let not our lives give the lie to our duties. Walk becomingly to your mercies, and becomingly to your duties. Let an holy, sweet, gracious, conversation be the Paraphrase of our duties, and a Comment upon our days of Humiliation, and Thanksgiving: I will conclude with that earnest obsecration, and obtestation of the Apostle.
