Paul a Servant of God and an Apostle of Jesus Christ according to the Faith of God's Elect and the acknowledging of the Truth which is after Godliness in hope of eternal Life which God that cannot lie promised in purpose before the World began But hath in due time manifested his Word Promise through preaching the publication of his purpose which is committed unto me c. 2 Tim. 1.9 10.

But what do you mean by the Gospel A. The Gospel is that Revelation of the Mystery concerning the Promise of Eternal Life which began to be spoken by the Lord Jesus The word Gospel is used to express a word in Greek which in general denotes any good and joyful Message or good and glad Tydings and which in special and by way of eminency signifies that good and glad Tydings brought into the World by Jesus Christ in which sense some would rather use the term Evangelie than Gospel following therein most Nations who retain in this sense the Greek word and that not unadvisedly That we call the Gospel is that Revelation or discovery of the Mystery concerning the Promise of Eternal Life which first began to be spoken by Jesus Christ See Rom. 16.25 Ephes 3.3 c. Joh. 1.17 Heb. 2.3 It is called the Revelation of the Mystery concerning this Promise because this Promise was before the coming of Christ contained in a Mystery that is in Types and Figures after an obscure way and manner But Christ hath expounded this Promise making known the substance of the shadow and bringing forth clearly the Spirit that is the meaning of the Letter Rom. 4.13 c. and 9.8 9.

Concerning God's Work for the saving of Men or preparing them for Salvation by Jesus Christ I have learned that this Work doth respect first Those that are the Servants of Sin and the Children of the Devil Secondly Those that are the Servants of Obedience the Children of God Q. It being so we will speak of this Work accordingly beginning with that part which respecteth the former sort of Persons you mentioned But because it will be needful to know who they are I therefore ask you Who are they that are the Servants of Sin and Children of the Devil A. All they who live in Sin which is the transgression of the Law of God are the Servants of Sin and Children of the Devil The Law of God is a binding direction from God concerning Duty forbidding that which is Evil and commanding that which is needful to be done Now the Transgression of this Law either in doing what it forbids or leaving undone what it commands is sin 1 Joh. 3.4 5.17 That man whoever he be that lives in Sin or committeth Sin by loving Sin and walking in it is a Servant of Sin and a Child of the Devil Joh. 8.34 Verily verily I say unto you saith Christ Whosoever committeth Sin is the Servant of Sin Rom. 6.2 Such are said to live in Sin 1 John 3.10 In this the Children of God are manifest and the Children of the Devil Whosoever doth not Righteousness is not of God neither he that loveth not his Brother Q. But why are they that live in Sin thus called A. They that live in Sin are called the Servants of Sin because they yield their Members Servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity and may expect the Wages of Sin which is Death and they are called the Children of the Devil
