II. Advice to weak Christians.
1. To excite themselves to obedience by this hear him when dead and lifeless. Many times the heart is dull and needeth quickening, Conscience groweth sleepy and needeth awakening, you are too bold in sinning, cold and careless in spiritual and heavenly things. Now the first means to quicken us is Christs divine Authority, 2 Pet. 1. 16. For we have not followed cunningly devised Fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eye-witnesses of his Majesty, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent Glory, this is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased. When you are customary in Prayer, and Hearing, it is Christs will, I must do it as I will answer it to him another day.
