2. A Treasure is a thing of dignity and worth; 'tis not a company of Pebbles (though many) that will make up a Treasure; 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 b•ings 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 are administered to us: there is no Science in the world brings such Treasure as this.

2. The Gospel is a treasure for variety, and abundance, and plurality. 'Tis not one thing of worth, but many that make 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 faith, but divers articles of it; so it is a treasure in that respect.
