Matthew11:14

14 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

It is an Epiphonema or Conclusion often used by our Saviour (and by St. Iohn in the Revelation) quickening up the hearers to a just Attention to, and belief of, what in the Doctrine preceding he had revealed to them: Intimating that he knew, that what he had said would not be entertained, or believed of all, but only of such, whose Ears and Hearts God had opened, or should open to receive spiritual Mysteries. But it was a matter of great Concernment, he therefore calls upon those, whose Ears God had opened to attend to it. So Chap. 13.9, 43. Mar. 4.9. & 7.16. Luk. 8.8.

Marginal references: Rev. 2.7, 11, 17, 29. & 3.6, 13, 22.
