§. 127. Of the efficacy of Preaching the Gospel.
This bringing of others to God, is here brought in as an effect of Christs Prophetical Office: and manifesteth the efficacy of the Gospel, whereby all that belong to God are brought in to him. Though by nature they be dead in sin, yet the sound of Christs mighty voice pierceth into their ears and heart. Hereupon saith Christ, The dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live, Joh. 5. 25.

We have an evidence hereof in Christs Ministry while he lived on earth. For saith he to his Father of his Disciples, While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy Name, Joh. 17. 12.
