Now the person (hereupon) makes choice of Christ, and comes unto him with humble tears, and beseecheth him to reign over him: O blessed Jesus! (saith the soul) thou art the only Lord, and there is none like thee, or besides thee; I have been a rebel, an enemy unto thee, I have been disobedient, and have served divers lusts and pleasures; I have served the world, and the Prince of darkness, but now I renounce their service, and condemn my slavery, and come ⟨p. 137⟩unto thee to be my Lord. Thy title is just and proper to my soul; it is thy purchase, and therefore the service of it belongs to thee. Thy precepts and commands are righteous and holy, therefore doth thy servant make choice of thee, and love them: thou wouldst have my heart, my will, my affections, my life, and who should have them but thy self, upon thee do I bestow my self, and most gladly do I consent to thy holy will, and resign up all the strength, and powers of all that I am, or have, or can do, to the service and honour of thee; though sin rage, yet I will serve thee; though the world frown or fawn, yet I will serve thee, though Satan tempt, yet I will serve thee.
