2. Our religion must be uncovered.

3. The wandering eye must learn to be fastened on Him.

4. Jacob, though he were not able to stand or kneel, yet leaned upon his staff, and worshipped God.

5. This must be done as duty due to God, and in regard of those that be strangers.

II. WE MUST SERVE.

1. Bow the soul when we bow the body.

2. We must serve God with our sacrifices.

3. Not with our sins.

4. Not with our iniquities.

5. God must be above all: and of whomsoever a man is overcome, to him he is in bondage.

(Bishop Lancelot Andrewes.)
