[ 966] The time of our Youth to be given up to God.

ALmighty God ever required in his service the first fruits,* 1.1 Exod. 3. 19. and the first born, Exod. 13. 2. The firstlings are his darlings, Gen. 4. 4. the fa••ttest lambs are fittest for his facrifice. If the King of Babel would have young men, well favou∣red, without blemish, and such as had great ability, to stand before him, Dan. 1. 4. shall the God of Israel,* 1.2 even the King of Glory, have none to stand in his Courts, but the halt, lame, and blind, such as the soul of David hated, 2 Sam. 5. 18. Ye shall not see my face, saith Ioseph to his brethren, except you bring your younger brother with you, Gen. 43. 3. And how shall we behold the face of our bles∣sed Iesus, if we do not remember him in the daies of our youth, if we dedicate to the devill our lovly young years, and offer unto him nothing else, but the dregs of our loathed old age.
