The next thing is, What should be the behaviour of the Soul in tht Sanctifying Gods Name in the word when it is come, Now to that there are these particulars:
1 First, There must be a careful attention unto the Word, you must set your hearts unto it, as Moses in Deut. 32.46. he said unto the people, Set your hearts unto all the words which I testify ⟨p. 172⟩among you this day, which you shall command your Children to observe to do, for it is not a vain thing for you, because it is your life. Set your hearts to it, for it i• not a vain thing, it is your life; when you come to hear the word give diligent attention to what you hear In Acts 8.6. it is said, The people with one accord gave heed unto […] things which Philip spake. They gave heed, The word is used often in Scripture, sometimes it is used for to beware of a thing, Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, Beware of them: As a man when he sees an enemy, and is aware of him, he is very diligent to observe how to avoid him; So there should be as much diligence to get good by the word, as one would be diligent to avoid any danger whatsoever: And the word signifies sometimes to give such heed, as a disciple gives unto his master, so they gave need to the word. So in Pro. 2.1, 2. My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee, so that thou incline thine ea•e unto wisdom: We must diligently attend, and not to suffer our eyes and our thoughts to be wandering, but diligently attend to what is said: my brethren, there is all things that may challenge attention in the word. What would make you to attend to any thing?
