Use 2. As it is a ground and foundation of comfort, so of all obedience to God, as it is prefixed before the 1Commandments, I am the Lord your God, you shall have no other Gods but me, & do all in obedience to me from this ground. But much more now; then he was the Lord God that 2brought them out of Egypt. But now God may prefix, I am your Lord God in Christ, that have brought you from hell and damnation, that intend you Heaven and happiness, and therefore do so, and so. Since this is the spring of all obedience, we ought to labour to make it good, and often to examine our selves, as before, what we make our God, and what we pitch our affections on. Alas, is our soul for any thing but God? hath not God made us for himself? and will our hearts rest in any thing but God? why then should we love vanity, and besot our selves? when ⟨p. 173⟩death comes, they may say as Saul said, The Philistines are upon me, and God hath forsaken me. Death is on me, trouble, sickness, vexation of conscience is on me, and God hath forsaken 3me, I have no God to go to, what a miserable estate is this? And therefore I beseech you, let us labour to have interest in the Covenant of grace, to make it good, that God is our God in Jesus Christ.
