I shall be very brief in the Use of Exhortation.
Oh that the Lord by this would cause some thing to stick upon your hearts, that what hath been preached in this point may be made useful for many Sermons afterwards! that it might be said of you in this place as it was said of them in Act. 13.48. When the Gentiles heard this they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord, and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed! Oh that God would make every one of you to be a means to glorify the word of God! That should be our care that the word of God may be glorified by us; we come to hear the word, but take heed that the word of God be not dishonoured by us, In 2 Thess. 3.1. Finally Brethren pray for us that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you; Oh that we were able to say so! and yet through Gods mercy in some degree we hope we can say so: and I could heartily pray that the word of God might be glorified in all places as it hath been with many of you; but yet go on in this, and labour every one of you that it may be more glorified, that you may manifest the power of the word in your conversations, that all that do behold you may glorify the word and say, Oh what hath the Lord wrought in such a place, in such families, families that were wretched, vile, carnal, and lived without God in the world, Profane, Swearers, foul-mouthed, Unclean; Now since they have attended upon the word, how hath it wrought upon them! what a change is there in such men and women!

Take heed I beseech you that the Word be not blasphemed by any of you: In Tit. 2.5
