Thirdly: In whom these effects of the word are found? Both in the godly and in the wicked, though not alike. Where we must know, that there is a feeling in both of these men, which is inward and not seen. Secondly, this power is not always presently felt, but it worketh in God his appointed time. We shall see the word will often strike the ungodly, though they be loth to hear; and although when they have heard, they would shake it off, by inglutting their hearts with eating, drinking, and sleeping, yet it will wring them on their beds, at their tables, in their chambers, when they are with their companions.
