Wherein the text is clearly and judiciously opened up, and a great many most apposite, profoundly spiritual and very edifying points of doctrine in a delectable variety drawn from it; With choice and excellent practical improvements made of them.
Wherein also several adversaries of the truth, as Socinians, Papists, Arminians and Antinomians, are smartly, solidly and succinctly reasoned with and refuted.

(1 Corinthians 2:2) For I determined not to know anything among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. (Galatians 3:1) O foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you, that you should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ has been evidently set forth, crucified among you? (1 Corinthians 1:23) But we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling-block, and to the Greeks foolishness; But to them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ, the power of God, and the wisdom of God. (2 Corinthians 5:21) For he has made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. (1 Peter 2:24) Who his own self bore our sins in his own body on the tree, that we being dead to sin, should live to righteousness: by whose stripes you were healed. Augustinus in Psalm 129: Sacerdos noster a nobis accepit, quod pro nobis offerret; accepit a nobis carnem; in ipsa carne victima pro nobis factus est, holocaustum factus est, sacrificium factus est.
