Despise that, and despise Christ himself; Therefore whatsoever benefits we have by Christ, they are attributed to preaching; they are attributed to the Gospel as it is preached and unfolded: therefore it is called the Gospel of the Kingdom, The Word of reconciliation, The Word of life, The Word of faith; all these are by Christ: but it is no matter, whatsoever we have by Christ, we must have it by Jesus Christ unfolded in the Ministry of the Word: despise the Ministry that is contemptible to flesh and blood, and despise Christ himself, despise the Kingdom, and life, and all: for Christ preached is that we must rely on, Christ unfolded, the bread of life must be broken, the sacrifice must be anatomized and laid open, Christ Jesus the Son of God must be preached; he profits not but as he is preached: his riches must be unfolded, The unsearchable riches of Christ. Therefore God that hath appointed us to be saved by Christ, hath appointed, and ordained preaching to lay open Jesus Christ among us.
