3. For the usefulness of it, The Scripture is profitable for instruction, 1exhortation, and to make a man perfect for every good work, 2 Tim. 3. There is no sin to be avoided, no duty to be done, but the Word of God will direct thee therein; There is no temptation so subtle but this will discover it; If at any time thou art unprepared and indisposed for such or such a duty, thou hast no heart to pray, no spirit to believe on the promise; Come to this and it will quicken thee, for it's eyesalve to thy blindness; It's an hammer against thy corruptions, It's fire to consume thy dross, It's oil for thy wounds, It's a Catholicon, an universal Shop of all spiritual medicines; The rich man, the poor man, the husband, the wife, all may learn from hence what to do.
