Most men now a days, are secure and cold in the profession of the gospel, though they have the plentiful preaching of it. And the reason is, because they feel not in themselves the virtue and mighty operation of Gods word, to renew them: and they can not feel it, because they do not apply the word aright unto their own souls. Plasters, except they be applied in order and time, and be laid upon the wound, though they be never so good, yet they can not heal: and so it is with the word of God, and the parts of it, which except they be used in order and time convenient, will not humble and revive us, as their virtue is.
