Let it be particularly observed, if the gospel be “glad
tidings of great salvation which shall be unto all people,” then
those only are, in the full sense, Gospel Ministers who proclaim
the “great salvation;” that is, salvation from all (both inward
and outward) sin, into “all the mind that was in Christ
Jesus;” and likewise proclaim offers of this salvation to every
child of man. This honourable title is therefore vilely prosti
tuted, when it is given to any but those who testify “that
God willeth all men to be saved,” and “to be perfect as their
Father which is in heaven is perfect.”
