Mr. Mede's Farewell Sermon.
Mr. Mede's Farewel Sermon.
1 Cor. 1.3. Grace be unto you, and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ.
You will wonder, possibly, that I should pitch on the Apostles Salutation for my valediction, and make that the conclusion of my Preaching, which he made the beginning of his Writing, and therefore I have made a double Plea for it. I find that this was a Form of Blessing peculiar to this Apostle, both in the beginning and end of this Epistle; for as there is scarcely one Epistle but begins with it, so many end with it likewise; as in Eph. 6.24. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. So in 2 Thes. 3.18. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your all. So that I find the Apostle to use it frequently at the beginning and end of his writing; I thought as I made it the matter of my prayer for you in the beginning, so I might make it my farewell to you in the ending, and therefore Grace be unto you, & peace from God our Father, & from our Lord Jesus Christ.
