In-Text There is indeed a sufficient obligation in Gods Precepts to require our obedience, but when to his precepts we add our own promise, it is so much the more ingaging. True it is, the Creatures naturall obligation to its Creators command is so great that in it self it is not capable of addition, but yet our voluntary promises serve to inflame our lukewarmenes and stir up our backwardnes to obedience. Indeed a religious resolution is as the putting of a new rowell into the spurr which maketh it the sharper, the twisting of another threed into the rope whereby it is the stronger, or tying of a new knot whereby it is made the faster. And hence it is that as God in condescension to our weaknes hath annexed an oath to his promises, not to make them firmer in themselves, but to confirm us the more: There is indeed a sufficient obligation in God's Precepts to require our Obedience, but when to his Precepts we add our own promise, it is so much the more engaging.
