It is true, there is nothing in this Scheme of Salvation which deserves Opposition, or which is by any Means a fit Object of Ridicule: On the contrary, it is the most benevolent, and withal the wisest Design. It is full of Benevolence and breathes nothing but Love and Compassion to guilty polluted perishing Creatures, in next Subordination to the Glory of God, according to Luk. 2. 14; Peace and Pardon, and Holiness, high Honours and special Favours, to the most unworthy Rebels. In a Word, considering the Benevolence of the Design, it might reasonably be expected that the Gospel, instead of Opposition, would meet with a universal Welcome; that every House, and every Heart would be open to receive the Saviour.
David MacGregore — David MacGregore, The Christian Soldier: A Sermon Preached at Newbury, at the Ordination of the Reverend Mr. Alexander Boyd to the Pastoral Office at New-Castle, in the Province of the Massachusetts-Bay, September 24th, 1754 (1755), p. 5
