Several sermons wherein is showed, I. That Jesus Christ is a mighty Saviour. II. That God converts his elect some at one age, and some at another, commonly before old age. III.

The two first of these Sermons (although' last Preached) are concerning Jesus Christ, as a Mighty Saviour. As I begun my Ministry Eight and Fifty Years ago, with Preaching Christ, so would I conclude it with Preaching Him. And the rather, because I see but little of Christ, in most of those Sermons which have of later Years been Published. Such Discourses are always seasonable, but they are so in a special manner, when there are Books Printed in which Arianism and Socinianism is contended for. It is a Marvellous thing, that Men who read the Scriptures & pretend to Believe them, should Question whether Jesus Christ is the True God, when there are no less than Fourteen Names or Appellations given to Him in the Scriptures, every one of which does declare his Deity, as Glassius has observed. They that trust in one, ⟨p. vii⟩that is a Man only, for Salvation, Cursed is their Faith. Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm.
