10. In worldly and needless Discourses: how much time on the Lord's Day is this way idly wasted, and the day this way profaned, as well as in many other ways, which I shall now omit to mention.
To close all, Let us make due preparation for the Worship of God on his Day, and rejoice at the approach thereof, wherein we have a Prize for our Souls put into our hands, and may enjoy God's Presence if not wanting to our selves. This is the Queen of Days (as Ignatius called it) which God hath crowned with Blessings; on which day the Spirit most gloriously descended, and the dew of the same Spirit still falls upon our Souls, and we may write, This was the day of our new Birth, and in which Christ often carried our Souls into his Banqueting-house, and also feasted us with the fat things thereof. This know assuredly, as you grow cold in respect of the day of Worship, you do certainly grow cold as to the Worship it self: and in this lies one of the great Evils of our present Day.
