SECT. XVIII.
My next Rights of my Soul and Body are to my self: for I have Right to my self to be mine own; for God hath given me my self my Soul and Body to be mine under him, and for him; and they are mine as they are his; and therefore they are mine, because they are his, and because he hath given them to me; and therefore he hath given them unto me, which is his act and deed, that I might give them again to him, and this is my act and deed; and so we have Rights interchangeably to each other.
And so I am contracted to my God, and my God is contracted to me; and I am his, and he is mine; I have interest in him and he in me. I may challenge my Right in him, and he may challenge his Right in me. These are my greatest Rights, to my God and to my self.
