4. In order to the winning over of Infidels to Christ, private Christians ought sedulously, to endeavour to promote the admission of the Gospel among them. For the Gospel is the glorious Chariot, in which Christ is carried about the World. And, that it may be entertained among them, to procure the Preaching of it to them. For that is Gods method; and the Apostles way of reasoning, is clear, and strong, Rom. x. 14, 15. How shall they call on him, in whom they have not believed? ⟨p. 301⟩And how shall they believe in him, of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a Preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent? Here, then are many things wherein private Christians may be very helpful. As in seeking out and procuring those, who may preach the Gospel among them: Encouraging, and supplying those who give up themselves to that blessed work: In disposing those poor creatures, (as much as they may) toward the Reception of the Gospel, and preventing, or removing all impediments that might obstruct their entertainment of it. This shows us, In what private Christians should desire, and endeavour to be Helpful, viz. In promoting the entertainment of the Gospel.
