Inference VI.
MUst you shortly put off those Tabernacles, then spare them not whilst you have them, but imploy them for God with all diligence. Shortly they shall be useless to you, yea, meat for Worms, now they may ••e servicea∣ble, and their Service is their honour;* 1.1 you received them not for such low ends as you imploy them for. See 1 Cor. 6. 20. Glorifie God in your Souls and Bodies which are his: You expect to have them glorious Bodies one day: Oh, then, let them be serviceable Bodies now. Be not fond of them to that degree many are, who chuse rather to have them eaten out with rust, than worn out with service. It is your pre∣sent honour to be active, and will be your singular comfort another day. What greater comfort when you come to put them off at death, than this, that you have imployed them faithfully for God?
