I have read of a German Divine writing to Oecolampadius another famous German Divine, he hath this expression, Oh let the Word of God come, and though we had 600. necks we would all submit them unto the Word of God saith he. So it should be the temper of such as hear the Word and desire to Sanctify Gods Name in it, let the Word of God come this morning, let God speak and we will submit had we 600. necks, we will submit all we are, or have, to this Word of the Lord, it is the Word of God, that we are willing should triumph over us: To have a Congregation to lie down under the Word of God that is preached to them is a most excellent thing, and Gods Name is much Sanctified; we do not brethren desire you should lie under us, we are not only willing, but we are very desirous that you would examine what we speak to you, whether it be according to the Word of God or no. But look to it, that if we do speak to you that which is the Word from the mouth of the Lord, know then that God expects that you should submit your estates, your souls, your bodies, all that you are and have to this word, and that is another particular of the Sanctifying of the Name of God in hearing the Word; there must be an humble submission of the soul unto it.
