Great safety, in attending to the Ministry of the Word. [ 814]
ALl the Adventurers in the great ship, called Argonavis,* 1.1 bound for Colchis, to
fetch the golden Fleece, when they were assaulted by the Syrens, endea∣vouring
to enchant them with their songs, found no such help in any thing against
them, as in Orpheus's pipe. We are all adventurers for a golden Crown in Heaven;
and as the Grecians, so we are way-laid by Syrens, the world, the ••••esh, and the devill,
evill spirits, and their incantations, from which we cannot be safe, but by atten∣ding
to the Word of God, by listening to the Preachers of the Gospell; who, when they
pipe unto us out of the Word, our hearts should be so taken up with that coelestiall
musick, that nothing else whatsoever should have the least entertainment.
