The proclamation of the Gospel is therefore addressed to all, without exception. And there is the greatest propriety in this: for if its language was not universal; if there were any exclusions or omissions, awakened souls, sensible of their desert, would be sure to appropriate them, and conclude that they had no part nor lot in the matter. But they cannot question whether they are sinners; and Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners. They cannot question whether they have been spending their money for that which is not bread, and their labour for that which satisfieth not; but these are invited to hear, that their souls may live. The Gospel affords a complete warrant for every man to believe on the Son of God.

William Jay — May 23 (evening), on Isaiah 57:19, in Evening Exercises for the Closet, for Every Day in the Year, vol. 1 (New York: D. Appleton, 1832), p. 275
