This the servants of God do the rather,1 because God is their God in an especial manner. Before OUR God, saith this holy Priest and servant of God. Indeed the Lord is a supreme Sovereign over all. All are his servants, Psal. 119. 91. yet the Israel of God, the Church of God is a chosen Generation, a royal Priesthood, an holy Nation, a peculiar People, 1 Pet. 2. 9. Who now should do, that which they undertake, before God, if not they, who have a special right to say of him, OUR God? This right they have by virtue of their union with Christ: who thus saith, I ascend unto my Father and your Father, and to my God and your God, Joh. 20. 17.
