Lect. 151.

Three Reasons and grounds of the former doctrine, 1 He that hath the Spirit of Christ cannot but love the persons of all men, and we love no man, unlesse wee love his soule, and unfeignedly desire his salvation; & grieve to see his soule in danger of perishing, p. 803. He that desires the salvation of all, will joy in the plentifull and sound preaching of the Word, p. 804.
Though God can save men without prea∣ching yet he doth not ordinarily without it, and its a fearefull signe, hee meaneth not to save them, he denieth preaching unto, Ibid. & 805. Though all bee not saved that have preaching, yet its a cause of comfort to see sound preachers abound, p. 805.
A man that hath no truth of grace in him∣selfe may yet be a meanes of conversion to others, Ibid.
2 The respect wee have to the state and Church wherein we live, which we are bound to love, p. 806. 1 Nothing will make the state and Church so honourable, as the liberty of the Gospell, 2 nor so strong and peaceable, 3 nor so prosperous and plenteous in bles∣sings, p. 806, 807.
On the other side, nothing will sooner de∣prive it of all blessings, then the neglect and opposing of religion, p. 808.
3 The respect we have to the Lord and his honour, ought to be dearer to us, then any other thing. And that's no way so much ad∣vanced, as by the liberty of the Gospell, and the good successe of it, p. 809.
