Salvation.] Presumes always danger and evil, and according to the quality and nature of the one, the other is to be considered, and conceived, here it is spiritually to be understood in the sul sense of it, to wit, from the danger of sin here begun in Preparation perfected in Glorification after this life: And that Speech by way of Similitude, seems well to interpret this manner of Speech, Heb. 3. 9. The day of temptation, when your Fathers tempted me, i. e. that moment of time when that rebellion was expressed; so here, That moment or instant wherein the Lord begins to put forth the work of his special Grace, about the Salvation of a sinner, by the means he hath in mercy appointed. And thus the Apostle expounds the word in the Verse following, Behold now is the day of Salvation; he saw it, they could not but perceive it, and all might acknowledge […] much, because the Word of Salvation, Acts 36. 26. viz. The Grace of God, that is, The Gospel given by grace […] bringeth salvation, did now appear, tit. 2. […] So that it may be truly affirmed in a savoury sense, This day is Salvation coming to such, to whom the ⟨p. 228⟩word of the Gospel is come in the Ministry thereof.
