3 Again in the third place, which will follow from hence, ⟨p. 170⟩When thou comest to hear the Word, come with a Resolution to yield to what ever God shall reveal to be his mind, I am now going to hear thy Word O Lord, to wait upon thee, to know what thou hast to say to me: And thou that art the searcher of the secrets of all hearts, Thou knowest that I go with such a resolution to yield up my self to every truth of thine, How would the Name of God be Sanctified if you did thus come to hear the Word! If you did come with such a resolution, Job, 32.34. That with I know not, teach thou me, and if I have done iniquity, I will do no more. In Isa. 2.3. you have a prophecy of the Gentiles how they should come to the Word, And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord to the house of the God of Jacob, and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: Here is a blessed disposition when you come to hear the Word, Some of you come together in streets and Janes, and over the fields, when you come together, and meet one with another as you walk over the fields, make use of this text, Oh that this prophecy might be fulfilled in your coming over the fields every Lords day morning and at other times, that you would say one to another, or when you call one upon another to go to hear, Come let us go up to the house of the Lord and he will teach us of his ways and we will walk in his paths. We are resolved that whatever the Lord shall teach us to be his ways we will submit unto it. This is a due preparation of the heart for the Sanctifying of Gods Name in the hearing of his word.
