There is a distinction of the words Evangelion, 1and Epangelia in the Greek, they have a different signification, Epangelia is of the time of the promises that were before Christ, ⟨p. 214⟩and they were all in expectation of the promise, of the promised Messiah: the time of that dispensation was Epangelia, Evangelion that was the time of the Gospel, when the promise was brought into performance, when our salvation was wrought by Christ in his first coming: so they lived under the promise, but they lived not under the things promised; they had Epangelia the promise made to them, but they had not Evangelion, that is, the dispensation of time wherein Christ lived, which were indeed glorious times, when Christ came in the flesh, they received not those, yet notwithstanding they died in faith. To shame us, that have so many means, and helps, and yet notwithstanding are so earthly minded, and so stagger and doubt in matters of salvation, and have our faith to seek: when all these blessed worthies the Patriarchs died in the faith that they lived in, and yet they received not the promises, no, not the type of the promises, they received not Canaan, which was an earthly type of heavenly Canaan, which was promised them; they came not to reap that till long after, when they came out of Egypt, as for Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, they lived in the land of promise as strangers. They received not the promises.
