   • a. 1710, Bishop George Bull, sermon

     Our obedience to God ought to be such, as that it may have, tho' not a merit of condignity to deserve everlasting bliss, (that being, as I have shewn you, utterly impossible) yet an ordinability, as a great doctor of our church expresseth it, that is, a meetness, fitness, and due disposition toward the obtaining it.
