It may be some of you may say, We have heard that there is much required in Sanctifying Gods Name in duties, and that is the only way to weary the Soul, and to make it fall off; Oh no, (as we said the last day) there is not any one thing that hath bin opened for the Sanctifying of Gods Name in duties that any gracious heart can tell how to miss, and the more we do Sanctify his Name, the more we shall be in love with worship. For it is from hence that those that Sanctify Gods name in worship will hold out, because they will find the sweetness of worship, they will meet with God in holy duties, and so they come to be encouraged in worship, but as for others who do worship God in a formal way, their worship will prove to be tedious to them, for they perform the duties, but do not find God in the duties in that Spiritual way as the Saints do; If they think they meet with God, it is but an imagination rather than any real meeting with him; they do not find the influence of God in their souls in holy duties, so as those do that Sanctify Gods Name in holy duties; here then you see the Reasons why we are to Sanctify Gods Name in holy duties.
