The Mystery of godliness, consider'd in lxisermons : wherein the deity of Christ is prov'd upon no other evidence than the Word of God, and with no other view than for the salvation of men . SERMON. Believed on tn the World. 4p5 SERMONXXXIV/;;* F T E R this preliminary diftindion, in- s E R m:to w hich we are led by a cloud of wit- , I may re-aflume my argument, ^.^OT*^That he who is thus believd on in thisworld, deferves the name thats given him in thistext, of the mofl: high God. By that expreffionI do not mean a titular deity. Thofe fhufBingarts of language are unworthy of a minifter, andfcandalous to the Gofpel that he preaches: We have the hidden things of difionejiy^ not ivalking craftinefsj nor handling the word of the Lord deceit^ftilly. As our exhortation is not of uncleannefs^ foneither is it of deceit or of guile; but as we are i Thef. ifjfut in truji with the Gojpel, fo we preachy not as 3* i^fleafing men^ who may eafily be imposd on, hmthat God who fearches the hearts^ and knows whatwe mean in every difguife of fpeech. For, there*snot a word in our mouths^ but loy he k^ows it altoge^ther. We are not fent to trifle with mankind. IfChr
