The Work Of A Gospel Minister Recommended To Consideration

A Charge Delivered At The Ordinations Of The Reverend

MR. JOHN GILL, MR. BONNER STONE, MR. JAMES LARWILL, MR. ISAAC GOULD, MR. WALTER RICHARDS

Consider what I say, and the Lord give thee understanding in all things—2 Timothy 2:7

That part of the service of this day; which is assigned to me, being to give a word of exhortation to the pallor of this church, now appointed and ordained to that office, and invested with it; I have chosen to do it in the words read; in which may be observed,

I. An exhortation of the apostle Paul to Timothy, to consider what he had said, was saying, or about to say to him; to attend to it, revolve it in his mind, and lay it up in his memory.

II. A prayer, or wish for him, that the Lord would give him understanding, in all that was, or should be said; and in everything else that might be serviceable and useful to him.
