But, what is it to obey the Gospell?
To obey the Gospel is to entertain the offers of it; 1for indeed though the Gospel co••and us to believe in the Son of God, 2yet withal it offers the very command unto us;3 To believe in Christ, being in effect a command to receive him, which supposeth an act of giving and tendering something to us; Now when we do not receive and ⟨p. 64⟩entertain with our whole heart Christ and his benefits freely offered, we disobey the Gospel, and so procure danger to our selves.
To obey the Gospell is to entertaine the offers of it; 1for indeed though the Gospell co••and us to beleeve in the Sonne of God, 2yet withall it offers the very command unto us;3 To beleeve in Christ, being in effect a commaund to receive him, which supposeth an act of giving and tendering somthing to us; Now when wee doe not receive and ⟨p. 64⟩intertaine with our whole heart Christ and his benefits freely offered, wee disobey the Gospell, and so procure danger to our selves.
