“ Joseph has nothing to say for himself, but that he is he chief of sinners: yet seeing that it is a faithful saying, that Jesus, he who made all things, came into the world to save sinners, why may not Joseph, after all, be saved? ”

“ A sense of the love of Christ shed abroad in the heart by the Holy Spirit, infallibly produces love, and this is shewn by universal obedience to the will of God, and studying to adorn the doctrine of God, by a life and conversation becoming the gospel. Joseph could not now manifest his love to God in this way, but he does it by shewing love to his people, and that because they were the friends of his Jesus. ”

“ This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation, that Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners, of to I am the chies. From this he preached, in the clearest manner, the ancient and apostoli gospel, the contents of this faithful saying viz. That there is eternal salvation for the vilest sinners, solely through the worthiness of Jesus Christ, the God that made all things "Not many rich, not many noble are called (by this doctrine, says the Apostle) but God hath chosen the weak things of this world to confound the things that are mighty." ”
