3. Let the self denials of Abraham shame every one among us into a greater Watchfulness &c. He, at the (b) first intimation, arose (c) early, went on diligently, persevered (d) constantly to observe, against his own will, the will of his God; chusing rather to be an unnatural parent, then an undutiful servant: Whereas some of us have delaied, from year to year, before we would yeild to take up our daily cross: precept upon precept, line upon line we have received, but what answer have we returned unto him that hath written unto us the honourable things of His law, Statutes, which if a man would do, he might even live in them? Thou who conformest thy self unto the licentiousness of an evil world, Did this Patriarch, at one private Item, surrender his only Son, and will not all the publick Commandements which thy God hath in loving-kindnes, laid upon thee, prevail with thy lips, to bite in a vain oath, with thine appetite, to forbeare an un healthy sin, with thy memorie to treasure up Heavenly Knowledge, or, with thine understanding, to perform Duties profitable, comely and of good report? The more easie that yoke is which Christ laieth upon us, the more careful should we be to follow the example of this Father of Isaac; otherwise, the burnt offering which he with-held not, will, at the last day, be offered in judgment against us. |
3. Let the self denials of Abraham shame every one among us into a greater Watchfulness etc. He, At the (b) First intimation, arose (c) early, went on diligently, persevered (worser) constantly to observe, against his own will, the will of his God; choosing rather to be an unnatural parent, then an undutiful servant: Whereas Some of us have delayed, from year to year, before we would yield to take up our daily cross: precept upon precept, line upon line we have received, but what answer have we returned unto him that hath written unto us the honourable things of His law, Statutes, which if a man would do, he might even live in them? Thou who conformest thy self unto the licentiousness of an evil world, Did this Patriarch, At one private Item, surrender his only Son, and will not all the public commandments which thy God hath in Lovingkindness, laid upon thee, prevail with thy lips, to bite in a vain oath, with thine appetite, to forbear an un healthy since, with thy memory to treasure up Heavenly Knowledge, or, with thine understanding, to perform Duties profitable, comely and of good report? The more easy that yoke is which christ Layeth upon us, the more careful should we be to follow the Exampl of this Father of Isaac; otherwise, the burned offering which he withheld not, will, At the last day, be offered in judgement against us. |
