Philosophy saith, that there is no vacuity: no vessel is empty; if of water, or other such liquid and material ⟨p. 288⟩substances, yet not of air. So perhaps you bring hither Vials to receive this Balm of Grace, and carry them away full, but only full of wind, a vast, incircumscrib'd, and swimming knowledge is in some a motion, a notion, a mere implicit and confused tenencie of many things; which lye like Corn, loose on the floor of their brains. How rare is it to see a Vial carried from the Church full of Balm, a Conscience of Grace ▪ I know there are many names in our Sardis: I speak not to dishearten any, but to encourage all. Only would to God, we would show less, and do more, of goodness. Yet show freely, if you do godly. I reprehend not showing, but not doing. We preach not to your flesh, but to your spirits: neither is this Balm for the ear, but for the soul. Therefore I sum up this observation with a Father. aQuantum vas fidei capacis afferimus, tantum gratiae inundantis haurimus: Look, how capacious a vessel of Faith we bring with us to the Temple, so much of this gracious and flowing Balm of life we receive. Consider that this Balm is banimae languentis medicina, the Physic for a sick soul. Come to it, like Patients, that desire to be cured. cQuidam veniunt ut nova per quirant, & haec curiositas est, quidam ut sciantur, & haec vanitas est: They abuse this word, that search it only for news, and this is curiosity; or to get themselves a name, and this is vanity: or to sell the truth, and this is Simony: or to jest on it, and this is Epicurism: or to confute it, and this is Atheism.
