Were it not for preaching the word, where were the vnderstanding of it, consolation by it, direction from it? Without it how should hard places be made plaine, plaine be applyed, repugnances in it be reconciled, or oppugners of it bee confuted. Take away preaching, and then downe with our schooles of learning, our houses of prayer, our obedience to Superiours, our loue to equals, and our right to heaven. It is the power of God to salvation, the pillar of God in our iourney to Canaan, the Angell of God to bring vs out of Sodome, the messenger of God to prepare his way, the trumpet of God to cry downe Iericho, and the caller to bring vs vnto the Church of Christ, being illuminated by the spirit. |
