The truths of the gospel constitute a feast of fat things for the hungry poor. God’s ancient love; the choice of men to everlasting salvation; complete redemption through the blood of Jesus; the covenant of peace, ordered in all things and sure; efficacious grace in conversion; free justification by the righteousness of Christ; the fullness of the mediator; and the final security of the saints in the hand of the Divine Redeemer; these are subjects on which judicious ministers will enlarge, with energy, freedom and pleasure; deducing from them the most powerful incitements to love, humility, zeal, and universal holiness.
William Crabtree — William Crabtree, The Prosperity of a Gospel Church Considered; in a Sermon, Delivered at the Ebenezer-Chapel, at Leeds, January 14, 1789 (1789), p. 22
