12 He said to some dwelling in a place where the word was preached: Oh consider it is the easiest thing to hear, it is the painfullest thing to preach the Gospel. The sitting of one hour, receiveth a fruit unto immortality: for howsoever men think the Ministers of God to speak even whatsoever cometh into their mouths; it is not so, they speak that which many years they have studied for, earnestly they have prayed for, which by experience they have bought, and by a painful life dearly payed for. If a Prince should give out by portion a mint of money for the fetching, who would spare to go? The Lord offereth the mint of his mercy, to be divided to them that will but hear, and believe it, and no man almost regardeth it.
