Thy Gospel is so true, The Miracles recorded there so convincing, the Doctrine so weighty, the beauty of Holiness so charming, thy promises so gracious, thy threat∣nings so terrible, thy Laws so equitable, that I wonder at my backwardness to offer unto thee my reasonable service. Thou art my Father, how reasonable is it, that I should love thee! T••ou art my Master, how reasonable is it, that I should obey thee! Thy Rewards are infinite, how reasonable is it, that I should contend earnestly to get them! Lord, thou knowest my weakness, and the stubbornness of my Heart. O adjure me by the mercies of God to present unto thee my Soul and Body, as a living Sacrifice, that whether I live, or die, I may live and die in the Lord Jesus, Amen.
