The Seed that falls on the Highway, does not sink into the Earth, but lie on the top of it. There are Hearers of the Word, who are too unmindful of our SAVIOUR's Direction; Luk, IX. 44. Let these sayings sink down into you. The Word has no more than a Superficiary Touch upon them. It may inform their Heads, but their Hearts are not reached by it, not moved by it, not changed by it.

Again; The Seed that falls on the Highway, is not looked after. There are Hearers of the Word who don't look after what has fallen upon them, to see what comes of it; but it is with them according to That; Jam. I. 23, 24. He is an Hearer of the Word, and not a Doer; He goes his way, and straightway forgets. They do not Ruminate on the Word they have heard; their Hearts don't recall any thing of it; but they carry toward it, as if they had never been concerned with it.
