THE next thing for the right behaviour of the Soul for Sanctifying Gods Name is this,1 We must receive the Word with meekness of Spirit, that you have in Jam. 1. 21. Wherefore lay apart all filthiness, and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the ingrafted word which is able to save your souls. Receive with meekness; The former part of this Scripture I confess concerns some what that was before, about the preparation of the Soul, and we shall perhaps afterwards in the Application come to open the former part of this vers. Lay apart all filthiness & superfluity of naughtiness: But only now we quote the place for this, Receive with meekness the ingrafted word which is able to save your souls. Let there be a quietness in your Spirits in attending upon the word, no hurrying; There is a twofold distemper of passion in many people that is a great hinderance to the profit of the Word, and Sanctifying Gods Name in hearing it.
