Etymology: From Middle English gospellen, from Old English godspellian (“to preach the gospel, evangelise”), from the noun (see above).

  1. To instruct in, declare, or communicate the gospel; to evangelise.

    Are you so gospelled, to pray for this good man and for his issue, whose heavy hand hath bowed you to the grave and beggared yours forever?
