The ••sufficiency of the Doctrine of Christ,¹ to make men wise unto salvation. Paul desired to know nothing else, and indeed nothing else is of absolute necessity to be known: a little of this knowledge (if saving and effectual upon thy heart) will do thy soul more service than all the vain speculations, and profound parts that others so much glory in; poor Christian, be not dejected, because thou seest thy self out-stripped, and excelled by so many, in other parts of knowledge: if thou know Jesus Christ, thou knowest enough, to comfort and save thy ⟨p. 8⟩soul; many learned Philosophers are now in Hell, and many illiterate Christians in Heaven.
