Let the Lord himself require it That is, call us to an account and punish us for it. What have you to do with the Lord You have no relation to him, nor interest in him, or his worship. The Lord hath made Jordan a border To shut you out of the land of promise, and consequently from the covenant made between God and our fathers. Ye have no part in the Lord Nothing to do with him; no right to serve him or expect favour from him. Cease from fearing the Lord For they that are cut off from public ordinances, usually by degrees lose all religion. It is true the form and profession of godliness may be kept without the life and power of it. But the life and power will not long be kept without the form and profession of it.
