Excerpt from The Decades of Henry Bullinger, Minister of the Church of Zurich, Vol. 4 Therefore the gospel is of all men in a manner after The gpspei, this sort defined: The gospel is a good and a sweet word, Wham 15 Degrees and an assured testimony of God's grace to us-ward, exhibited in Christ unto all believers. Or else: The gospel is the most evident sentence of the eternal God, brought down from heaven, absolving all believers from all their sins, and that too freely, for Christ his sake, with a promise of eternal life. These definitions are gathered out of the testimonies of the evangelists and apostles; for St Luke bringeth in the angel of the Lord speaking to the amazed shepherds, and saying Fear not; for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, that shall be to all people: for unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. Lo here, he taketh from the shepherds all manner of fear with the bringing of good tidings; that is, with the preaching of health, which is a thing that is full of joy and always bringeth gladness with it. The tidings are, that there is born the Saviour of the world, even the Lord Jesus Christ: he is born; and that too unto and for us; that is, to the health and salvation of us mortal men. St Paul saith, that the gospel was promised afore of God by the 530m.
