So then, that ‘whosoever believeth on Him shall be saved,’ is, and must be, the foundation of all our preaching; that is, must be preached first. ‘Well, but not to all.’ To whom then are we not to preach it? Whom shall we except? The poor? Nay; they have a peculiar right to have the gospel preached unto them. The unlearned? No. God hath revealed these things unto unlearned and ignorant men from the beginning. The young? By no means. “Suffer these,’ in any wise to come unto Christ, ‘and forbid them not.’ The sinners? Least of all. ‘He came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.’ Why then, if any, we are to except the rich, the learned, the reputable, the moral men. And, it is true, they too often except themselves from hearing; yet we must speak the words of our Lord. For thus the tenor of our commission runs, ‘Go and preach the gospel to every creature.'
