But here by the occasion of our Lords question how readest thou pawse we a little and aduisedlie let vs consider the force and efficacie of reading the word of God The reading of Gods word and preaching of the same are the two onely and ordinarie meanes whereby through the working of the spirit the Lord conueieth his word into our heartes both which are expressed by one word in Hebrew Karà which signifieth to crie or call to proclaime pronounce or preach to declare or reade Exod. 24 7.
