How shall we get it?
1. Get a suitableness to the word. Every man's delights are as his principles. Rom. 8. 5. They that are after the flesh, do mind the things of the flesh: but they that are after the spirit, the things of the spirit. A man is much discovered by his savour and relish of things. All creatures must have suitable food. There must be a suitableness between the Faculty and the Object; spiritual things are spiritually discerned.

2. Be in a condition to delight in the word. A guilty soul readeth its own doom there; it revealeth themselves to themselves, accuseth and condemneth them. As Ahab said of Micajah, He prophesieth evil against me, and therefore could not endure to hear him. Joh. 3. 20. Every one that doth evil, hateth the light, neither cometh he to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
