1. Teacheth us, that God hath ordained the Ministry of the Gospel to last to the end of the world. Christ hath given Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Teachers: To perfect the Saints, and to edify his body: to continue Till we all meet in the unity of faith &c. So was his promise after his Charge. Math. 28. His charge, Go teach all nations: his promise; Lo I am with you alway, unto the end 1of the world. God will send Shepherds, till every lost ⟨p. 2⟩sheep be brought to the folds of peace. The Ministers voice shall sound, till it be overtaken by the Archangels Trump. The ministration of the Law had an end; but there is none to the ministration of the Gospel, before the end of the world. Hereof may be given a double excellency to the Gospel: and prelation above the Law. It is more Gracious. Glorious.
