Answ. 1. Attend to whatever He shall say. That may be the special Reason why Christ in the Preface of his Epistle to the Church in Thyatira, mentions His being the Son of God, viz. that so He might stir up Attention. And if Christ hath any thing to say to us, we may be sure that it is well worth the hearkening to, because He is the Son of God, Prov. 8. 6, 7, Hear, for I will speak of excellent things, and the opening of my mouth shall be right things, for my mouth shall speak the Truth. O then hearken to the Son of God! The Father of Glory has said from Heaven. This is my Son, Hear Him, Matth. 3. 17. It is as much as a soul is worth not to regard what Christ the Son of God shall say. It shall come to pass, that every sou•• that will not hear Him shall be destroyed from among the people, Act. 4. 23.
