First, Make much of your glasses; Be thankful for them: How many Churches of Jesus Christ have their glasses taken away or broken? Robbed and spoiled of all their precious things, and have not so much as a glass left, wherein they might have some glimpses of divine light conveyed into their understanding? Oh Christians, before it be so with you, make use of your mediums; While you have the light, walk in the light, &c. Bless God that ⟨p. 48⟩the Sun is not totally gone down upon your Prophets, 1nor the day dark over them; God hath done that for you (in as much wonder, and more mercy) that once he did for Joshua, caused your Sun to stand still in your Gibeon, &c. Oh bless God for it! Make his praise glorious.

And secondly, Make good use of your mediums, attend Reading, and Hearing, and Prayer, and Sacraments while you have them; take heed of that dangerous notion, of being above Ordinances, it is a Precipice upon which many have stumbled into darkness: Oh that it may not prove utter darkness, the blackness of darkness for ever!
