The Door of Salvation Opened By the Key of Regeneration

Regeneration is one principal thing which pastors ought to instruct their people in. Jesus Christ, though the wind of Nicodemus' words, ver. 2, seemed to blow towards some other coast, yet he waives all other discourse, and speaks directly and home to this, as the one doctrine necessary for his unregenerate disciple to learn. Regeneration and salvation by Christ are the two substantial dishes which the faithful stewards of God set constantly before the families committed to their charges. Those that preach notions instead of such doctrines do cursedly cozen their guests with flowers instead of meat, which may fill the eye of the wanton, but not the heart of the hungry soul.
