The orthodox evangelist. Or A treatise wherein many great evangelical truths (not a few whereof are much opposed and eclipsed in this perilous hour of the passion of the Gospel) are briefly discussed, cleared, and confirmed: as a further help, for the begetting, and establishing of the faith which is in Jesus. As also the state of the blessed, where; of the condition of their souls from the instant of their dissolution: and of their persons after their resurrection.

The efficacy of a Relation springeth from its foundation; the foundation then of this being firstly the absolute grace of God in election, and thence flowing down in the Promise according to the merit of Christ, by the effectual operation of the ⟨p. 293⟩Spirit: Needs must the River of life be full, ever-flowing,1 and quickening, that ariseth from, and is maintained by such fountains; the influence of the Ocean into water-springs, of the Sun and Heaven into inferior bodies, is not to be compared thereunto. Next to the increated Communion of the Trinity in the Divine Essence, and the communicated influence from the Divine nature to the Man-hood, is the influence of the Lord Jesus Christ, unto the members of his mystical body. And thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures, for with thee is the fountain of Life. In thy light we shall see light, Psal. 36.8, 9.
