Upon reading that of _St. John_, chapter ii. verse 15, _And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the Temple_; this prying Divine makes these discoveries, "I discover," says he, "in the first place, that in the Church or Temple, a scourge may be made, _And when he had made a scourge_. Secondly, that it may be made use of, _he drove them all out of the Temple_." And it was a great chance that he had not discovered a third thing; and that is, that the scourge was made, before it was made use of. Upon _Matthew_ iv. 25, _And there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee_, "I discover," says he, "when JESUS prevails with us, we shall soon leave our Galilees! I discover also," says he, "a great miracle, viz.: that the way after JESUS being straight, that such a multitude should follow him." _Matthew_ v. 1. _And seeing the multitude, he went up into a mountain_. Upon this, he discovers several very remarkable things. First, he discovers that "CHRIST went _from the multitude_." Secondly, that "it is safe to take warning at our eyes, for _seeing the multitude, he went up_." Thirdly, "it is not fit to be always upon the plains and flats with the multitude: but, _if we be risen with CHRIST, to seek those things that are above_." He discovers also very strange things, from the latter part of the fore-mentioned verse. _And when he was set, his disciples came unto him_. 1. CHRIST is not always in motion, _And when he was set_. 2. He walks not on the mountain, but sits, _And when he was set_. From whence also, in the third place, he advises people, that "when they are teaching they should not move too much, for that is to be _carried to and fro with every wind of doctrine_." Now, certainly, never was this place of Scripture more seasonably brought in. Now, Sir, if you be for a very short and witty discovery, let it be upon that of _St. Matthew_ vi. 27. _Which of you, by taking thought, can add one cubit unto his stature?_ The discovery is this, that "whilst the disciples were taking thought for a cubit; CHRIST takes them down a cubit lower!" Notable also are two discoveries made upon _St. Matthew_ viii. 1. 1. That "CHRIST went down, as well as went up. _When he came down from the mountain_." 2. That "the multitude did not go 'hail fellow well met!' with him, nor before him; _for great multitudes followed him_." I love, with all my heart, when people can prove what they say. For there be many that will talk of their Discoveries and spiritual Observations; and when all comes to all, they are nothing but pitiful guesses and slender conjectures.
