This thou mayest do too,¹ and yet never be saved.² Nay, thou mayest so hear, as to receive much joy and comfort in hearing, nay to believe and catch hold on Christ, and so say and think he is thine, and yet not be saved; as the stony ground did, Mat. 13. who heard the word with joy, and for a season believed.

This thou mayest doe too,¹ and yet never be saved.² Nay, thou mayest so heare, as to receive much joy and comfort in hearing, nay to beleeve and catch hold on Christ, and so say and thinke he is thine, and yet not be saved; as the stony ground did, Mat. 13. who heard the word with joy, and for a season beleeved.
