By us Ministers. How? When the Gospel is preached, God is carried in triumph, as it were, and his banner is set up, and the Promises displayed, ⟨p. 440⟩1and sinners called unto him: and God is glorified by the discovery of these things, and faith is wrought in people to whom they are discovered; and they glorify God when they believe, they bless God that ever they heard these tidings: so every way God is glorified.

The Ministers they open as it were the box of sweet ointment, that the savour of it may be in the Church, and spread far. They lay open the tapestry, the rich treasures of Gods mercies: they dig deep, and find out the treasure. Therefore these Promises in Scripture being so made, and performed in Christ, they tend to Gods glory, but by us, by our Ministry. God, to knit man and man together, will convey the good he means to convey by the despised Ministry.
