SECT. 2. Of fit times and seasons for Reading the Scriptures.
1There is a season to every purpose under the Sun, saith Solomon; the observation whereof not only adds grace to every good action, but many times facilitates the work it self we have in hand: Now the times and seasons most convenien to this duty of reading the Scriptures, are (besides the Sabbath) left to Christian wisdom; only we have general commands to be frequent and diligent in meditation of the Word, Josh. 1.8. ⟨p. 341⟩Psal. 119.97. and the particular times may be either uncertain and occasional, or constant and set.
