This faithful servant of Christ, was a Minister of the Gospel; de Arcanis Dei: a Minister, I say, by Scriptural ordination; no intruder, or up-start of the times, who, like the false Prophets of old, run before they are sent, 1and speak a vision of their own heart, and ⟨p. 46⟩not out of the mouth of the Lord. This servant of God was not so, but as his Call was from God, both inward and outward, so the secret of the Lord was with him; God was pleased to reveal much of himself, and of the mysteries of the Kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ unto him; which he did faithfully communicate to the flock, over which the Holy Ghost had made him overseer; 2and kept back nothing that was profitable unto them, but showed them, and taught them publicly, and from house to house: a man he was of more then ordinary abilities both of gifts and graces, for the work of his Ministry.
