3 As Honesty, so Attention is requisite; while the Word is preaching, you must diligently attend thereunto, as they who ⟨p. 96⟩would be loath to lose a word that should be delivered. This particular is noted of those that heard Christ-preach, of whom it is said, That they were attentive to hear him; or as the Greek text hath it,¹ All the people hanged on him to hear him, i. e. They were very attentive, as unwilling to let any thing pass them: So should you be as attentive to the Ministry of the Word. To this end, keep your eyes steady on the Preacher. And as he passeth from point to point, think briefly on the point which is past, which will exceedingly help your memory.
