Again, how should our souls love the Gospel, and prize the Gospel, that hath revealed all this to us? In 2 Tim. 1. 10. it is said, Life and immortality is brought to light by the Gospel: These are the things that ⟨p. 657⟩in comparison were kept hid from the beginning of the world, before the manifestation of the Gospel, but now they are revealed: O blessed be God that we had the preaching of the Gospel amongst us, to open the treasures of grace to us in this manner. What poor low thoughts should we have had of the happiness of mankind, had not God made known these glorious things in the Ministry of the Gospel? Many wise men by the light of nature have risen high in the contemplations of happiness, that mans nature is capable of, but how far beneath these things have their highest thoughts been? It is a great part of the glory of the Gospel, that it sets out unto us these high and glorious things.
