This description of the People, them that hear thee, saith, that the principal work of a Minister is Preaching; and the principal benefit People have by them, is to hear the Lords Word from them; though there be a seeing (i. e. of their holy Conversation) that is also useful, Phil. 4.9. But the Apostle knew no such Ministers as were only to be seen in worldly Pomp and Grandeur, and seldom or never heard Preaching.
Thou shalt save them: The great End of both Preaching and Hearing is Salvation; and if Salvation were more designed by Preachers and Hearers, it would be more frequently the effect of the action.
