So it is with too too many unprofitable hearers of the Word; it may be, that when they are gon home from the Church, there are some things fresh in memory;* 1.3 but on the next day, they have lost some, but there are some other things that do yet present themselves before them, and then they lose more and more, till they have lost the sight of all; no more of the Word appears then, as if they had heard nothing at all.
