§. 24. Of Christs first publishing the Gospel.
The first that clearly and fully preached the Gospel of Salvation, was the Lord Christ, It took beginning to be spoken by him; according to the Greek phrase.1 Till he came and preached, people sate in darkness, and in the shadow and region of death: but when he began to preach, they saw great light, Matth. 4▪ 16.

It cannot be denied but that the substance of the Gospel, and therein salvation, was preached from the beginning of the world (as hath been showed before, §. 20. 21.) but so dark was that kind of light, as, like the light of the Moon when the Sun shineth, is accounted no light. The day taketh his beginning from the rising of the Sun, and the light that cometh from thence: So Salvation, here spoken of, taketh beginning from Christs preaching the Gospel.
