OBserve what influence de∣pendances have upon mens natures.
Where dependance is, there is a servility and tendernesse of be∣haviour, Therefore the chiefe Ru∣lers, though they beleeved in Christ,
durst not confesse him, because of the Pharisees, Joh. 12. 42.
Where dependance is, there is an Obligation from departures; men that depend cannot bee free and absolute in their actions and motions, The eyes of such servants must still looke unto the hand of their masters.
Where dependance is, there is a feare to make forfeit of pre∣scriptions and favours, to which they are entituled; therefore David in his spirituall adhe∣rence sayes, In thy feare will I worship, Psal. 5. 7.
By these advantages men are awed and swayed, and speake in the Language of our Saviours o∣bedience, Not as I will, but as thou wilt, Matth. 26. 39.
