here he shows that the subject of his and other ministers’ preaching was Christ, (as he had before described him), in whom alone hope of glory was to be had, Act 4:12 1Co 2:2 Gal 5:4 1Jn 1:3.
the manner of it was by admonishing and instructing all, in all the Christian wisdom that Christ required, that they might avoid sin and do their duty. He means all collectively, not distributively; of the generals of each, not each one of those generals; excluding none from the communion of so great a benefit, having no acceptation of nations or persons, making no exception of any condition, but inviting all men to Christ, holding forth this light of the gospel to whosoever would receive it, while God did vouchsafe life and strength to them, in the most taking way, Act 20:21,27,31 Ro 1:14-16 1Ti 3:2 2Ti 2:24 2Ti 3:16 4:2 Tit 1:9.
and the end and aim he and others of his mind had in preaching of this matter in such a manner was the same with Christ’s, Col 1:22, to put them into such an estate by their labours that they might, through Christ, appear at a throne of grace without confusion, 2Co 11:2 Php 3:12,15 Heb 5:14.
