evill which did dwell within him, was his principall matter of conflict.

Sixthly, It zealously contendeth for the maintainance of Gods pure worship and service. Judah ruleth with the Lord, ''and is faithfull with the holy One. Judah'' retaineth the pure worship of God, whose service is perfect freedome, and the truest dominion: for he that serveth the Lord purely, hath rule over Satan and his own unruly lusts.

Seventhly, In all service the true Christian strives to approve his heart unto God, and to performe it as in his presence, to the glory of his name. He prayeth with the Spirit, obeyeth from the heart, heares with reverence, speakes as in the sight of God, and doth all things with life and power.
