The Work and Way of Meditation. SERM. VIII.

HAving show'd how sweet and profitable the work of Meditation is, to meditate on God, and the things of God; we came the last day to this Question, or Objection:

But if the work of Meditation, be so sweet and profitable: What shall we do, that this work of Meditaon, may be carried on with sweetness and profit?
I am a stranger to this work of Meditation; I have often read the Scriptures, and not meditated on them. I have often heard the Word, and not meditated thereon: I have sometimes begun to meditate, but finding it a hard work, I have left it off again. And sometimes I have thought that this work is incumbent only upon Students, and Preachers: But if it be our duty to meditate on God, and the things of God, what shall we do that the work of holy Meditation, may be carried on with profit, and with sweetness?
