Experience shows us, that the humblest Saints are most fruitful under the Gospel.1 These are they that receive with meekness▪ the engrafted word, Jam. 1. 21. whose influences abide in them, as the rain doth in the low valleys. Happy is that Minister, whose lot falls in such a pleasant valley. Blessed are they that sow beside all such waters, that send forth thither the feet of the ox and the ass, Isa. 32. 20. Among these valleys run the pleasant springs, and purling brooks, which fertilize the neighbouring ground. Heavenly Ordinances there, leave fruitful influences.
