But how doth Faithfulness in the Ministry of the Gospel further the Ministers Salvation?
1. Faithfulness in a mans Generation-work, is of great use and advantage to Salvation. Well done good and faithful Servant, from the Lords own Mouth, is a great Security; and diligence and faithfulness in improving the Talents we are entrusted with, through Grace, procure that Testimony.

2. Thou s•••• save thy self from the guilt of other mens Sins and Ruin, if thou be faithful in the Ministry. Ezek. 33.9. Thou hast delivered (or saved) thy Soul, saith the Lord to the Prophet in the case of unsuccessful Faithfulness. So Paul, Acts 18.6. I am clean, your blood be upon your own heads; and Acts 20.26, 27. I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men; for I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God. Every Minister pledgeth his Soul to God, that he shall be a faithful Servant; and he that is such, may freely take up his Stake, whatever his Success on others be.
