1 USE. Of Reproof to those that don't make this Use of the Gospel, that they may be set at Liberty. Some take Notice of their Opportunity, and are bestirring of themselves that they may be set at Liberty. They are not discouraged, though they find Difficulties in the way, and are sensible of the uncertainty of the Event, but take a great deal of Pains. If they should obtain it, they will be happy Men; but this is not the Case with all: Some don't regard to make Improvement of their Time: They are very much to blame. It is a great Privilege to be set at Liberty. This was Purchased with a great Price, as he says, Act. 22.28. With a great Sum obtained I this Freedom. ⟨p. 169⟩Christ Jesus was Anointed of God to Preach this. Isai. 61.1. But some Men don't make Use of the Gospel to get Liberty, but make a very contrary Use of it.
