or as much as to Christ, is to have no respect at all to Christ. Thus when the Sichemites, Gen. 34.23. admitted of circumcision, and so gave up themselves as a Covenant-people to God, here was all the argument they proposed to themselves, Shall not their cattell and their substance and every beast of theirs be ours? What beasts were these Sichemites, what shadowes of Religion, who would take upon them this badge of Religion for the gaine of beasts and worldly substance? Such pure respects to our selves, defile all our services and render our persons odious unto God. |

Such pure respects to our selves, defile all our services and render our Persons odious unto God. |
