Some think that if they keep up Religious Duties, •hey may do what they list at other times; that if •hey be Intemperate, Lascivious, Unrighteous, it […] but to make even again with God at Night, and •l will he well: Like the Whore in the Proverbs, •hat having made her Offering, was presently ready of new Wickedness, Prov. 7.14. as if she had paid •ff the old Score, and might now boldly run upon •new.

Others think, that tho' they may not serve the •evil at any time, yet giving God his Dues Morn•g and Evening, they may serve themselves the •est of the Time. But in vain do they lay claim to •od, who live more to themselves than they do to im. This will be found horrible Sacrilege to put ff God but with the Tenth. God is to be eyed, nd served in all that you do; and this is that I rive at, that we may not divide ourselves between od and the World; between his Service and our wn Ends, and so put him off with a Partial service; but that we may do all in Obedience to m, and we may be entirely the Lord's. That he […] all Things may be glorified by us, and that we may ot lose our Reward.
