8 It is a common Proverb: He that loveth the law, loveth the King: and I say, He that1 loveth the word, loveth God. Well, thou shalt know, at this time, or at that time, in thine own conscience, by the word preached, that Christ doth offer to come thee: it standeth thee in hand to entertain this Prince, not without some solemn preparation. How thou must make provision for his coming, thou art taught, Matth. chap. 3. First beware the great mountain of thy reason rise not against the Word, least speak Christ what Christ can speak, we will do as we list. When this is pulled down, yet there are many crooked ways of hypocrisy to be made straight, and many by-paths in stepping to the world from the sight of our infirmities, hindering our perseverance, are also to be made even.
