3. Faithfulness and Painfulness in the Ministry of the Gospel, promotes a mans own Salvation, in so far as the work of Christianity is woven in with the right discharge of the Office of the Ministry. Many ⟨p. 197⟩Ministers can say, that if they had not been Ministers, they had in all appearance lost their Souls. The Subject of the Ministers work is the same with that of a Christian's; and above all men should he be careful of his Heart and Intentions, that all be pure and spiritual: No man in any work he is called to, is under so strict a necessity of dependence on the influence and assistance of the Holy Ghost, both for Gifts and Grace. And are not all these great helps unto our own Salvation?
