We come not to you in our own name. We have charge to preach the gospel to all nations. Therefore we speak unto you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. We show you the ⟨p. 107⟩way that you may walk in it: we declare unto you the will of God, that you may be saved. For yet will the Lord wait that he may have 1mercy upon you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have compassion upon you, sayeth the Prophet Isaiah. We have opened unto you that whole treasure of Gods mercy. We have lead you to the throne of grace, and made you see the Lamb of God that taketh away the sins of the world. We have preached unto you remission, and forgiveness of your sins through his name. If you have heard us, and believe, you shall be saved. If any man preach unto you otherwise, than that you have received, let him be accursed.
