 and devoting yourselves to him, to be his subjects and servants as long as ye frequently renew your personal covenant with him, and faithfully keep it. Isa. xliv. 5. Rom, xii 2. Exod. six. 5.

Exh. 5. Make an entire resignation of yourselves to God, and of all that you enjoy, and have an affection for; referring frankly to his will, wisdom and goodness, to dispose of you and yours in all things, in all cafes, and at all times, as seemeth good and right in his sight: live a life of dependance on him, and trust in him, who can make all things work together for good to you. Math. vi. 10. Rom. viii 18.

Exh. 6. Daily read some portion of the holy scriptures, diligently meditate on what you read, and study to understand and remember what you mediate; that thereby you may come to now both sin and duty, and how to be both holy and happy; read also other good practical books; and seek the Lord's blessing on your readings. John v. 39. Tim, iii. 15, 16, 17.

Exh. 7. Pray daily unto God
