3. If therefore we neglect this, we shall one day repent that ever we were under them. How proud soever men may be of the mountain of the Lord, yet when reckoning day comes, and they shall then be charged, that they sat all their lives under Gospel teaching, but took never a step in this way, it will be a sad item, and none more terrible.
For Direction,
1. Frequent the means constantly. They that never come at the Ordinances, cannot expect to be taught by them, we must wait, &c. Prov 8. 35. We must answer for the Ordinances we ought to have attended, as well as those we did.
2. Attend diligently. Many place their Religion in a constant going to the means; but they that would profit by, must give a listening ear to them, else they will no more than those that tarry away; we must hearken diligently, Isa. 55. 3.
