2 It is a certain evidence of your election, in Thess. 1.3, 4, 5. Remembering without ceasing your work of Faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father, Knowing Brethren, beloved your election of God; Why? For our Gospel came not to you in word only, but also in power, and in the holy Ghost, and in much assurance. And know this excellency there is in Sanctifying God Name in hearing the word, I beseech you mark it, that it is a more blessed thing, than if you did bear Jesus Christ in your wombs; You that are women, would not you have accounted it a great happiness if Christ had been borne in your wombs? Now if thou comest to the hearing of the word, and Sanctifiest Gods Name in it, thou art in a better condition, and hast a greater blessing upon thee, than if thou haddest born Jesus Christ in thy womb. In Luk. 11.27, 28. And it came to pass as he spake these things, that a certain woman of the company lift up her voice and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked. Seeing Christ and what gracious things came from him, she spake so; But he said, Yea, rather blessed are they that hear the word of God and keep it. That is, Labour to Sanctify my Name, (as hath been opened in the particulars) rather is that woman blessed that do so, than the woman that bare Christ: Me thinks this one Scripture should be such a Scripture for women, to cause them to Sanctify Gods Name in hearing of the word, instead of a hundred Scriptures; certainly thou mayest be so blessed, if thou wilt believe the word that comes from Christs mouth.
