USE II.
Let every one of us give unto Jesus Christ that ⟨p. 74⟩which is due to GOD. As tis said in Psal. 29. 1, 2. Give unto the Lord, O ye mighty, give unto the Lord glory and strength, give unto the Lord the glory due unto his Name. To worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness. So let us do to Christ. We are to honour Jesus Christ, as much as we honour God Himself; for He is God. The Father will not be offended but well pleased with us, if we do so. He would have all men to honour the Son even as they honour the Father. Joh, 5. 23. Thy heart is God's due. He saith give me thy heart. Let Christ have thy heart, give thy whole heart to him, that he may rule as God there. Give thy soul to Jesus Christ. None of us may bequeath our souls to any but unto God; yet unto Jesus Christ we may bequeath them, as dying Stephen did, who said, Lord JESUS receive my spirit. Let us love Jesus Christ with such a Love as is due to none but God. Love him with all thy heart, with all thy soul, & with all thy mind and with all thy strength. And Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen. To HIM be Glory both now and for ever,
AMEN.
