II. Wherever the Word of GOD is dispensed, there the Devils will immediately come to steal the good Seed of that Word, from the Hearts which it is cast upon.
Be advised of this, O worshippers of GOD; That in whatever Exercise of Religion you are engaged, the Devils will with some Temptation there immediately fall upon you. Even in the House of GOD, and where the Word of GOD is dispensed, we must look to meet with Devils; and when the Sons of GOD come to present themselves before the Lord, Satan will also come among them. You are to Watch against your never-weary, never-sleeping Adversary, not only in your Business, and in your Travelling, and in your friendly Conversations, but in your Devotions too.
