(2.) If you would have it from Christ, you must use the Means of Grace; the Word, Prayer, Sacraments, Meditation. We need continual supplies, must use continual Prayers, seek the Grace of the Spirit to keep in our Lamps, Luk. 11.13. So the Word; God droppeth in something to the Soul that waiteth on him. Mark. 4.24. Take heed how you hear; for with what measure ye mete it shall be measured to you again. If we be earnest and diligent in waiting upon God, God will abound to us in blessing his Word to us. So for Meditation; Mat. 13.19. The High-way Ground did not bring the Word to their minds again; doth not revolve it, mindeth it not, heedeth it not. So for the Lords Supper; 'tis a means to root us in the Love of God when we so often renew our Oath of Allegiance to him, to excite our Faith in Christ. All these are a price put into our hands, to get Oil in our Lamps, and prepare for his Coming.
