It is a most agreeable, and a most profitable Thing, for the Ministers of the Gospel, whose Love to the Lord Jesus Christ obliges them to Feed His Lambs, to take every Occasion, for the pressing of Early Piety. Methinks I see a fair Occasion for it, in the Text, which from The Gospel of the Ephesians, now falls into our Hands. Our Apostle mentioning the Great Things done by the Grace of God, for His Chosen People, he proceeds, more particularly, to mention the Subjects, upon whom the Triumphs of Grace are multiplied. These are first, the Elect of God among the Jews; and then, the Elect among the Gentiles. The Former are designed in the words now before us; And, Behold a singular Privilege of the Jewish Converts. It is proposed as a singular Privilege ⟨p. 5⟩and Advantage to be, The First, who Hoped in Christ Or to Go before others in Christianity. For this then be the Doctrine, that we shall insist upon.

It is a Glorious Privilege and advantage to Go before others in Early Christianity.
