If it be the Second, viz. The terms, That ye are not content with; ye would have Christ, Grace, and Glory, ⟨p. 68⟩and every good thing; but here it sticketh, you look at it as an hard matter to be denied to your self and to be wholly Gods, to renounce your own righteousness, and your lusts, & your Idols, to be absolutely devoted to him and wholly dependent on him in your walk, As the evil & the slothful Servant called him a hard Master; So do many think of him, though they will not down right say so much in express words: But I would ask you, is there any unreasonable thing here? Or shall all those terms be sought after, in some respect, in the Marriage of a poor creature like your selves? And will ye deny them to Christ? 1. If you get his righteousness; should ye not deny your own? If ye come under the Covenant of Grace with him, is there any prejudice to lay by the Covenant of works? If ye get him for your second Husband, and infinitely best, is it any prejudice to quit your first husband the Law? And in that respect is it reasonable to cast at the bargain, because it is free? Secondly, Is it not reasonable that ye should give him the room of all things? If He be able to fill the room of all, let him have his room, as being well worthy of it; It is your advantage to quit your lusts and sinful pleasures, your covetousness, Pride, vanity, self conceit, &c. To exchange all for him; and if ye be not content of this condition, ye say he is not worth the having. 3. Is it not reasonable that ye should be devoted to him in your Conversation? That ye should no longer Play the harlot, but be as a chaste Virgin to him? Is it any advantage to you to follow your Idols, that will go betwixt you and happiness? If Heaven be an advantage, it is your advantage to quit them and be for Christ; Or is it any Prejudice to be Holy? Or will ye quit Christ, because ye must be Holy? Or will ye refuse him because he will not suffer you, to your ruin, to take your ⟨p. 69⟩own will as formerly? yea it is not only reasonable, but very good and Profitable; Nay there is a necessity you should be Holy, and may not love to him loose your heart from sin? There was another sort of consolation, and other bowels of love at the first making of the Bargain betwixt the Father and the Son;
