It were very meet, yea, not only were it meet, but it is also necessary for us to consider what the Lord has been doing to us, and to consider what has been his dealing and dispensation with us this time past; and then, upon the other part, to consider what we have been doing with the Lord our God. ‘TheThe Lord has done as much to us in his providence as can be done to a people in the outward dispensation of the means of grace; what can the Lord do more thus than he has done, or what has the Lord done more to any people than he has done to us? If the Lord said this upon good grounds to his own Israel, WhatIsrael: "What can I do more unto my vineyard? I have diggeddug it, I have hedged it about, etc., and thus and thus have I done to it; surelyit." Surely it may be as truly said of us, what can the Lord do more unto us? And again, upon the other part, (I mean for external duties, and bands in the service and worship of God,) what can we ourselves do more to God? We have sworn a covenant with the Lord in his sight and his holy angels, and in the sight of many witnesses beside; (for each one has many witnesses, they have the whole congregation to be witnesses to that which they have done): and after we have given our oath, we have sealed it with a seal at the sacrament. I would have every one of you but to ask at your own consciences, what yeyou would have the Lord to do more to you, and to see but if he can do any more in the external means; and see what yeyou can do more unto the Lord: indeed there can be no more done outwardly.
And then, when yeyou have condescended upon this, I would have you to take it to heart both what God has done to you, and his obligation, as also your own obligation whereby yeyou have bound yourselves to him? forhim. For if all this be done on all sides, and yet your hearts be never a whitbit drawn nearer to God than they were before, then yeyou were never so near to a judgment and vengeance as now. YeYou know when man deals with man thus,---givesthus---gives him his promise for anything, has made a band for it, sworn to it, and subscribed it, and sealed it with his seal, and yet for all that, proves false, perfidious, and mensworn (perjured),--- eitherperjured---either that he was never minded ‘toto do according to these things, or by proving light, although he had a purpose, yet goes from it again,---yeagain---you would think such a man unworthy to live among the company and society of honest men. And yet if yeyou live among the society of God's people, and profess to be of them, and make not conscience of so many obligations, certainly yeyou may be counted unworthy to live among God's people, if yeyou make not conscience of these. And therefore I would exhort you, in the name of Jesus Christ, to consider what the Lord has done to you, and to consider also how yeyou have bound yourselves to him again, that so there may be a change into the heart by that, and that change in the heart may be evidenced by your life and conversation; that so the world about you may see, albeit they could not know it before, that yeyou are the people of God, and walk as the people of God. As yeyou would wish a blessing from God, I exhort you again and again most earnestly to do it: and humble yourselves now before the Lord your God, and crave pardon of him that yeyou have not done it the time by-gane,bygone, and beseech him to put his Spirit within you, that hereafter yeyou may walk as it becomes, through Jesus Christ.

PRAYER.
O Lord, we thy people coming into thy presence at this time, we are constrained and forced to acknowledge and confess that thy mercies shown to us have been many and exceeding great. As we were by nature, so we might have been still, strangers from God and Christ, alients from the commonwealth of Israel, without the covenant, and so having no right to the promises made in thy word; and living here without hope of life everlasting, and being in danger of thy everlasting wrath. And therefore it has been thy great mercy to gather us within the skirts of thy covenant, and within the compass of thy love; and has made us who were no people to be thy people, and to exalt us above other nations in the world, who were every way more wealthy and flourishing in outward things than we were, and yet that thou should put this great honour upon us to make us thy people and children. What a great love, and what a great mercy is this, that thou should count more of us than of others; that thou should enter in a covenant with us, and make promises to us; and that thou should put us in any hope of continuing thy comfortable presence to remain here among us; and to enter us in the estate of grace; and that thou should give us faith to believe, and so hope of life eternal afterwards! Lord, our dull minds, they cannot be wakened nor stirred up to apprehend of these things; the little things in the world, they hold us very busy, we cannot think upon these things that are above, and are sent down to us from thence. And howsoever that we have not considered of it aright, yet we ourselves have gone far on in our duty to thee; for we confessed ourselves before the world, and we have sworn and subscribed to it; and as we have received a seal thereof, so we have added one. Certainly our condemnation must be great, if so be that there be not a change in us for all this, but to the worse rather than to the better, if our heart still remain hard, our life lewd, and our conversation altogether carnal.
