1 In the First place, You that do not Sanctify Gods Name in hearing his word in those ways that have been opened to you, First you loose the greatest and happiest opportunity of good that ever creatures had, for an outward opportunity: indeed when God moves by his Spirit if that be neglected, that opportunity is more than merely hearing the word, but otherwise except it be at such a time when God adds his Spirit together with his Word; I say you that are cast by the providence of God in such a place where the word of the Gospel is preached to you, applied and urged upon you, if you Sanctify not the Name of God, to hear as you ought and to profit by it, I say you lose the greatest opportunity for good that is in the world? Oh what hast thou lost that hast lived many years under the Ministry of the Gospel, and yet hast not been acquainted with this mystery of godliness in sanctifying Gods name in the word. There are many thousand souls that are and shall be blessing God to all eternity for what of God they have met withal in the word, but thou hast sitten under it stupid as a block, dead and barren, and no good hath been done, Wherefore is there a prize in the hand of a fool, and he hath no heart to get wisdom? This will lie upon thee heavy one day, the loss of such an opportunity, and that is the first.
