1. Men of themselves in regard of the things of God are blind, and understand1 not the way wherein they should walk. In this respect they have need of Guides. When Philip asked the Eunuch whether he understood what he read or no, He answered, How can I except some man should guide me? That which Christ said to2 Paul, is true of all Ministers: Christ sends them to open peoples eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light▪ Act. 26. 18. There are many by-paths that lead to destruction whereinto people would soon fall if they had not guides. 2. Men are not only blind, but they are also by nature of a stubborn disposition, hardly brought into the right way; and when they are brought hardly held therein: So as in this respect there is great need of Ministers to be over them, to exhort, incite, admonish, persuade, reprove, and use all other meet means to put them into the right way, and hold them therein.
