And thus have we a twofold bottom of the necessity of our
obedience and personal holiness:— God hath appointed it, he requires it;
and it is an eminent immediate end of the distinct dispensation of Father,
Son, and Holy Ghost, in the work of our salvation. If God’s sovereignty
over us is to be owned, if his love towards us be to be regarded, if the
whole work of the ever-blessed Trinity, for us, in us, be of any moment,
our obedience is necessary.
