2 Secondly, God hath appointed his Word to be the great Ordinance to convey the special mercies that He intends for the good of his people. That we spake to before in the general, in showing how the duties of Gods Worship are as a Channel for the conveyance of Special good to the Saints: But none more than the Word• that's the Ordinance to convey the First Grace to those that belong to Gods election. The Sacrament is for strengthening, and therefore there is rather more in the Word than in the Sacrament, and yet every one thinks in conscience that he is bound to come carefully to the Sacrament, and to look to Sanctify Gods Name there. It is an easier matter to convince men and women, that they are bound to Sanctify the Name of God when they come to receive the holy Communion, than for the hearing of the Word: they think not so much of that, but certainly the Word is appointed to be an Ordinance ⟨p. 196⟩of conveying more blessing than the Sacrament, because it is appointed to convey the first Grace, and to convey strength of Grace as well as the Sacrament: Now being appointed to convey such great things to the souls of the elect, both the first grace and strengthening of grace, and comfort, and assistance thereof, the Lord expects to have His Name Sanctified in it.
