Simeon Ashe, Edmund Calamy the Elder and William Taylor, "To the Reader," in Christ All in All:

This field is full of gospel treasures digged out of Scripture mines, for thine enriching in the knowledge of Christ: and what knowledge is so necessary, excellent, or profitable? For from hence do issue all things which pertain unto life and godliness, 2 Pet. i. 3. Hereby our love to Christ is inflamed, our longings after him enlarged, our faith in him confirmed, our joys in him raised; yea, by the knowledge of him he is possessed and improved, both for growth in all graces, augmenting of all spiritual comforts, and preparation for everlasting glory.
