Again further, §5Although they had many sprinklings of the Doctrines of Grace; yet they fell but droppingly upon them; now a drop, and then a drop: As you have it in the 1. Chap. of the Hebrews: 1. verse, God who at sundry times, and in divers manners, spake in times past unto the fathers by the Prophets; hath in these last days spoken unto us by His Son. God who by piece-meals, drop by drop; now a drop and then a drop, spake unto our fore-fathers by the Prophets; hath in these last times spoke unto us by His Son. This being the opposition, shows, that God spake perfectly, and spake all by His Son. When this King came, then all the Cocks run with wine. Some observe, that Jesus Christ preached the Gospel more plainly unto one poor, ignorant, sinful, wicked woman, that ye read of in the 4. of John; then He did unto all our fore-fathers under the Old Testament: for unto which of all our fore-fathers did He say, I am the Messiah, Ask of Me the water of life, and I will give it thee? You know the great Doctrines of the Gospel, Justification by Grace: Free remission of sins; and the like: Now though these Doctrines be in the Old Testament, yet take your Book, and how many leaves shall you read over, before you be able to read this Doctrine clearly? But open your Book where you will, open in the New Testament, and you shall meet with one every where; with this Doctrine, this great Doctrine of Free-Grace every where. Oh! much, much of Jesus Christ, and of His Grace that is now Discovered; surely Abundance of Grace, Abundance of Grace Discovered to the Saints now, and to all the Saints.
