DISCOURSE. SECT. III.
1. The Ministry of the Word and Sacraments is given also to the same end, and is in its own proper nature and use an instrument of conveying the spirit of regeneration 1to those that enjoy it, and to all those: I cannot have better proofs for this than those that our Reverend Divines of Dort have gathered to my hands. Isa. 59. 21. This is my Covenant with them (saith the Lord) my spirit which is upon thee, and my words which ⟨p. 194⟩I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor seeds seed for ever. Hinc patet (say they) from these words it appears, that the Word and Spirit are joined together in the Ministry of the Word, with an inseparable bond by promise of God. Hence it is that the Ministers of the New Testament are called Ministers not of the letter but of the Spirit, not of the letter which kills, but of the Spirit which gives life: and the Ministry of the Gospel is called [Greek or Hebrew], in the same place; v. 8. the Ministry of the Spirit. 2Hence is the Gospel called [Greek or Hebrew] grace bringing Salvation, Tit. 2. 11. and [Greek or Hebrew] The word of reconciliation.
