You know 'tis uncivil for any Aequal to look aside when another speaks. But 'tis sawciness in a Cottager, to slight the speech of his noble Landlord. 'Tis more than Insolence in a Subject, not to attend unto the words of a gracious Soveraign. How great a Crime is it (by consequence,) as well as a clownery in Religion, either to laugh, or look aside, or any other ways to express an haughty Carelesness, or Neglect, when God himself in his Gospel is speaking to us by his Son? The Men of Israel and of Judah were more obnoxious to Judgment than Those of Nineve, both for slighting His preaching who was greater than Jonah, and because they were a People much more oblig'd. For as the better he is that speaks, the worse it is, not to attend him; |
