Excerpt from The Works of the Rev. John Newton, Vol. 2 of 6: Late Rector of the United Parishes of St. Mary Woolnoth and St. Mary Woolchurch Haw, London I agree with you, that some accounted evangelical teachers have too much confined themselves to a few leading and favourite topics. I think this a fault, and believe, when it is constantly so, the auditories are de prived of much edification and pleasure, which they might receive from a more Judicious and comprehensive plan. The whole Scripture, as it consists of histories, prophecies, doctrines, precepts, promises, exhortations, admonitions, encouragements, and reproofs, is the pro persubject of the Gospel-ministry, and every part should in its place and course be attended to, yet so as that, in every compartment we exhibit, Jesus should be the capital figure in whom the prophecies are fulfilled, the, promises established, to whom, in a way of type and emblem, the most important parts of Scripture-history have an express reference, and from whom alone we can receive that life, strength, and encouragement, which are necessary to make obedience either pleasing or prae ticable. And where there is true spiritual faith in the heart, and in exercise, I believe a person will not so much need a detail of what he is to practise, as to be often greatly at a loss without it. Our Saviour's com mandments are plain and clear in themselves, and that love which springs from faith is the best casuist and commentator to apply and enforce them.
