§ 8. First, If Christ were nothing more than our Lord and Master, we must be concluded to be his Servants; because they are Relative and Correlative, which do mutually infer the one the other. And were we nothing more to him than hired Servants, we could not sure but be obliged to do his work: which is not only to believe he is true, and righteous, and will pay us the wages which he hath promis'd; But (over and above) it is to come when he calls, to go when he sends, and to do what he bids us, without exception, or delay. For was it ever yet the work of an hired Servant, to believe that his Master is an honest meek man, who first will suffer himself with patience to be abused by his Servant, and then besides his forgiveness, will give him also a great Reward? No. 'Tis the keeping of his Commandments which is the Doing of his work; And that is strictly recommended by Christ himself, |
