Again, Instruction is another of those things ⟨p. 82⟩which we are to come unto the Lord Jesus for. We are to come unto Him, as He is exhibited in Acts 3.22. A Prophet shall the Lord Raise up unto you. He enquires of us, Art thou willing that I should be the Prophet of thy Soul! and we must sincerely consent unto His being that; saying with the Psalmist, in Psal. 25.4. Show me thy Ways, O Lord; Teach me thy Paths. We must come unto Him, for that Eye salve whereof He hath said, I counsel thee to buy it of me! Come unto Him, as of old that •ind Son of Sorrow, crying, Lord! that I may receive my sight! Come unto Him a• a Scholar unto a Tutor, that He may show us, The Path of Life. So are we to Resign ourselves unto the conduct of Our Lord, that by his unerring Scripture, and Spirit, He may lead us in the Paths of Righteousness.
