Look upon the Word as a Book of 1spiritual Receipts. Basil compares the Word to an Apothecaries shop, which hath all kind of Medicines and Antidotes*. If you find your selves dead in ⟨p. 28⟩duty, here is a Recipe, Psal. 119. 50. Thy Word hath quickened me. If you find your hearts hard, the Word doth liquefy and melt them; therefore is compared to fire for its mollifying power, Jer. 23. 29. If you are poisoned with sin, here is an herb to expel it.
