3. And in this they are Co-workers with Jesus Christ the great Saviour of Souls, and with the Holy Spirit, the Regenerator and Sanctifier. Yea Christ doth very much of the work of his Salvation by them, when he ascended on high he gave gifts to men, for the edifying of his body, till they come to a perfect man; Eph. 4.6. to 16. and when the Chief Shepherd shall appear, they shall receive a Crown of Glory that fadeth not away, 1 Pet. 5.4. and shall hear well done good and faithful ⟨p. 136⟩Servant. Hence are the Streams of Consolation, that make glad the City of God, and daily refresh many thousand precious Souls. For how shall men believe without a Preacher, and how shall they Preach unless they be sent (qualified, obliged and authorized by Christ) Rom. 10.
