Christ is the Lord of my conscience; I will listen to Him." 2. As the servant of Christ, the Christian _subjects his body to His control and regulation_ in the gratifying of its appetites, and in providing for its comfort and adornment; his lips in what they speak; his hands in what they do; his ears in what they listen to; his eyes in what they read and look at; and his feet in all their journeying and movements. 3. As the servant of Christ, he _regulates his family according to his Master's mind and law._ 4. As a servant of Christ, he _conducts his business according to Christ's law,_ with the strictest honesty, and for Christ's end, distributing his profits in a proportion--I shall say a large proportion; nay, I shall say a very large proportion--to the maintenance and education of his family, and some provision of an inheritance for them, and even a considerable proportion for the gratification of his own tastes. Is not that a large allowance for a slave? But oh, some of you! you seize on all--wickedly appropriate all to yourselves, or part, and that with a grudge, a murmur, and a scowl, with but the smallest fraction to the Master's poor and the Master's Church! Slaves indeed! Slaves of Avarice and his daughter, Cruelty! 5. As a servant of Christ, _the country of the Christian is Christ's,_ to be regulated, so far as his influence and vote may extend, by Christ's rule, for Christ's ends.--_W. Anderson, LL.D._ Vers. 11, 12. _The Gospel and the Call to preach it._ I. It is necessary that men should be assured and certified that +the doctrine of the Gospel and the Scripture is not of man but of God.+--That the Scripture is the Word of God there are two testimonies. 1. One is the evidence of God's Spirit imprinted and expressed in the Scriptures, and this is an excellence of the Word of God above all words and writings of men and angels. 2. The second testimony is from the prophets and apostles, who were ambassadors of God extraordinarily to represent His authority unto His Church, and the penmen of the Holy Ghost to set down the true and proper Word of God. II. It is necessary that men should be assured in their consciences that +the calling and authority of their teachers are of God.+--To call men to the ministry and dispensation of the Gospel belongs to Christ, who alone giveth the power, the will, the deed; and the Church can do no more than testify, publish, and declare whom God calleth.
