Here is an accent put upon the point in hand, Hearken to this.

We save the least dust of Gold, every grain of it is of worth, and so is every grain, or the least dust of divine truth. One jot, one tittle of the Law (saith Christ, Mat. 5.18.) shall in no wise pass till all be fulfilled; Surely then, no jot, no tittle of it should be lightly passed by, by us. Yet there are some divine truth like studs of mass gold, or as jewels, which ought to be more carefully attended to, and laid up in the cabinet of the heart; Some truths have an emphasis, a Selah set upon them, O hearken to these. Christ saith in the Gospel, about the tithing of mint, anise and cummin, These things ye ought to do, but be sure ye do not leave the weightier matters of the Law, Judgment, Mercy and Faith undone (Matth. 23.23.) so say I, attend to the least truths, but be sure ye attend to fundamental truths, to those truths upon which the whole weight of the soul stands; Such is, The great Mystery of Godliness, God manifest in the flesh; and the great Grace of Faith in that Mystery: These, with several others, are the fundamentals, the very vitals of Religion; all falls and dies, unless ye stand fast and live in these: O hearken unto them.
