The gospel informs us, that in CHRIST dwells all fulness; immense riches laid up in him, and by his liberal hand dispersed and scattered abroad, yet undiminished. Ministers are to preach, not themselves as lords; but CHRIST JESUS, Lord of all, and rich unto all who receive him. They are to preach the riches of CHRIST, that all might hear, believe the report, and believing, might have the riches of grace and glory. They are to preach the kingdom of GOD, and teach those things which concern the LORD JESUS CHRIST, with all confidence. The riches, both of his deity and of his mediation, must be taught, as a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation.
Abel Stiles — A Sermon Preached at Rehoboth, May 14, 1766, at the Ordination of Ephraim Hyde, 1767, pp. 11-12
