2. A Treasure is a thing of dignity and worth, it is not a company of pebbles (though many) that will make up a Treasure: a Treasure consists of things of worth and dignity: and thus is the Gospel: in it are contained excellent and admirable truths, the Mysteries of salvation by Christ: the doctrine of the Gospel brings glad tidings of peace and reconciliation with God in Christ: there we have the gifts and graces of God, there we have glory and immortality, &c. and those things in the Gospel ⟨p. 416⟩Gospel are administered to us: there is no science in the world brings such treasure as this.

2. The Gospel is a treasure for variety, abundance, and plurality. 'Tis not one thing of worth, but many that makes up a treasure: if few, yet much worth must be comprehended in them; so in the Gospel we have the manifold wisdom of God, the rich Treasures of Wisdom and Knowledge. The Gospel, though it be but one for substance, yet 'tis many for improvements; 'tis a chain of many links, one saith, but divers articles of it; so it is a treasure in that respect.
