Far more knowledge, and far deeper impressions, of religious subjects have been gained by mankind from this source, than from all other hu-; man labours whatever. Nor was any other method ever devise^ in the present world, so cheap, so convenient, or so effectual, foi^ the purpose of diffusing instruction or reformation. III. I shall now consider the Subjects of preaching. All these are included under one general head; viz. The Gospel^ On this great truth I found the following observations. 1. ...As the Gospel includes all the subjects of Preaching, the Preacher is bound to exhibit nothing as a part of the Christian Sys- tem, but what is contained in the Gospel. The Gospel contains whatever it expresses, and whatever it in^r plies : but it contains nothing more. Nothing more, then, can be lawfully inculcated by the Preacher, as a part of the Gospel. In examining the express declarations of Scripture, he is bound to give them that sense, which the words obviously convey, the current of the c, oiitext demands, and the circumstances^ in which they were ut- tered, point Qut.
