3. Lastly, let this teach you, to get your selves familiar acquaintance with the Scriptures: that if you be put to it, in the absence of your Physician, you may yet help your selves. We store our memories, and (perhaps not trusting them) our Books, with divers receipts for ordinary diseases. Whom almost shall you meet, (whiles you complain of an Ague, of the Tooth-ache, of a Sore) but he will tell you a Salve or a Medicine for it? Alas, are our souls less precious, or their wounds, griefs, sicknesses easilier cured, that we keep the Closets of our consciences empty of Medicines for them? The Jews were commanded to write the Laws of God on their walls, &c. God awrites them on the Christians hearts. So David found it. Thy Law is within my heart. This is true acquaintance with it. It is our Masters charge, if at least we are his servants. bSearch the Scriptures, for in them is eternal life. We plead, that our faith is our evidence for Heaven: it is a poor evidence, that wants the seal of the Scriptures.
3. Lastly, let this teach you, to get your selues familiar acquaintance with the Scriptures: that if you be put to it, in the absence of your Phisitian, you may yet helpe your selues. We store our memories, and (perhaps not trusting them) our Bookes, with diuers receites for ordinarie diseases. Whom almost shall you meete, (whiles you complaine of an Ague, of the Tooth-ach, of a Sore) but he will tell you a Salue or a Medicine for it? Alas, are our soules lesse precious, or their wounds, griefes, sicknesses easilier cured, that wee keepe the Clossets of our consciences emptie of Medicines for them? The Iewes were commaunded to write the Lawes of God on their walls, &c. God awrites them on the Christians hearts. So Dauid found it. Thy Law is within my heart. This is true acquaintance with it. It is our Masters charge, if at least we are his seruants. bSearch the Scriptures, for in them is eternall life. We plead, that our faith is our euidence for Heauen: it is a poore euidence, that wants the seale of the Scriptures.
