Now for that I will not trouble you with divers readings, or divers interpretations of those words, I used similitudes, 1It is a very strange expression, (we have it not that I know of in the Book of God, but here) to show 2the aggravations of mens sins that they hearkened not to the Word, though the Word was brought to them in way of similitude.

You may see here, That the Lord takes account of the manner of mens preaching, as well as the things they preach; and men may have their sins aggravated, not only for standing out against the Word, but against the Word so and so delivered. The main necessary Truths of God are made known to you all, yea, but some of you, have them made known to you in a more sweet, wooing, and 1winning way, and a more convincing way than others have, and God takes account, not only of the things you hear, but of the manner of it.
