6. If we shall demand of Paul, what his constant course of teaching was in his preaching of the Gospel, and publishing the covenant of grace, he will tell us, that it was the very same, both for matter and method, that his master began with, and not one way to some, and another way to others, as this Author ⟨p. 14⟩seemsq sometime to imply, but the same for substance, both to Jew and Gentile.r Testifying, faith he, both to Jews and Gentiles, sRepentance towards God, and tFaith on Christ. and he putteth repentance (therein followingu his Masters method) in the front. And yet more fully, relating both his commission from Christ, and his putting of it in execution: for the former he saith, thatx Christ sent him to the Gentiles, to open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they might receive remission of sins, and a share among those that are sanctified by faith on Christ. and for the latter, thaty out of obedience to Christs command, and in pursuance of this his commission (which I suppose he understood as well as this Author, and kept as close to it, as any Antinomian of these times, yea as any that ever preached Christ)z he preached, or published, both to the Jews and to the Gentiles, that they should repent, and turn to God, doing works beseeming repentance; such as might show them to be truly penitent, and their repentance to be sound and sincere. And thus Pauls preaching to the last, comes home to John Baptists preaching at first; and is the very same, you see, with that, which this Author makes to be the very character of a Legal Teacher.
