And therefore those who seek the conversion of others, they must not only denounce legal threatenings against sin, for this will make men rather flee from God, then come unto him, but having by the law brought them to a sight of their misery, in regard of the curse thereof, the anger of God, death and condemnation which they have deserved, then they are to preach the glad tidings of the Gospel, whereby they may be assured of the remission of their sins, and reconciliation with God; and so be moved to come ⟨p. 151⟩unto Christ, and to adjoin themselves to his Church. Examples hereof we have: Act. 2. 38. 39. 2. Cor. 5. 18. 19. 20. 1Gal. 3. 26. 27. 28.
