A Defence Of Some Important Doctrines Of The Gospel In Twenty Six Sermons Most Of Which Were Preached At Lime Street Lecture

Excerpt from A Defence of Some Important Doctrines of the Gospel: In Twenty-Six Sermons; Preached at the Lime-Street Lecture We can each of us say, as to ourselves, that we have advanced nothing but what we believe to be true, and agreeable to Scrip ture. If any, with meekness, gravity, and impartiality, shall think fit to Object against what we have laid down, we hope we shall be enabled by the Holy Spirit to plead for the things of God; being desirous of nothing more than to establish the truth, as it is in Jesus. But if any should pursue us with rancour and reviling, with banter and grimace, we shall pass by such treat ment with pity and silence. Or, should they, who shall be disposed to animadvert upon what we have delivered in the following sermons, charge upon us the sentiments of particular persons, we shall leave those concerned to vindicate their own tenets. We recommend the whole of what we have done to the bless ing of that good Master for whose glory we plead, and whose battles we fight; and we would humbly hope that our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ, the word of whose patience we desire to keep, and in defence of which we now appear, will make our endeavours to be of real service, to establish pious persons in the belief of the doctrines in dispute, and to furnish them with some weapons to repel the attacks Of gainsayers.
