He that hath an ear to hear let him hear. 'Tis a dreadful and dangerous thing to turn away the Ear from him that speaks from Heaven, Hebr. 12. 25. See that ye refuse not him that speaketh, for if they escaped not that refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaks from Heaven.
