And you that are Citizens, show your prizing of it in this one thing, Many of you here have your City, and your Country Houses, But what little 1care is there for men to seat themselves in places where they shall have faithful Ministers of God to reveal the mind of God to them? If they come to seat themselves any where, they scarce take it into consideration to give a penny the more, because of a faithful Minister, or a penny the less if it hath none; Oh! this shows the extreme neglect of God, and of his Ordinances. How few Country Villages about the City were supplied with faithful Preachers? It's a great blessing of God to the world to have faithful Prophets.

Thirdly, God will take account of what becomes of the 1Word, Labour and Pains of his Prophets; for so he speaks in a way of upbraiding of them, God will take account of all the Spirits that his Ministers spend, of every drop of their sweat, and of all their watchings in the night, I sent my Prophets rising early, and going to bed late, God will take account of all, and you shall know that there hath been a Prophet among you, the Ministers shall be brought out to say and testify: Lord, I was in such a place, and I revealed thy mind thus and thus unto them in these and these ways, that they could not but be convinced of, and yet still they continued thus and thus wicked.
