be required. When we contemplate the light with which we have been favoured: nationally and individually, what are we? What punishment do we not deserve? While the judgements of God are abroad in the world may the inhabitants of this our country learn righteoufnefs! While the horizon is faddened with the encircling tempeft, while the thunders of vengeance are roaring in every furrounding land; may there be wrought in us through faith in the Lord Jefus the broken and contrite heart which God will not defpife! To Him who giveth to all men liberally and upbraideth not, let us plead for the gift of faith, the foundation of all other gifts from heaven, in conftant prayer. Let us ftrengthen our faith by the study of his word; by religious meditation; by contemplating the fervent piety, the perfevering holinefs, the unfhaken fortitude, the labours of love, the joyful endurance, the triumphant death, of eminent believers in Chrift Jefus in antient or in later days. Let us encourage our selves in our earthly pilgrimage by habitually looking forward with the eye of faith to the things unfeen, that better country, that blissful home, that incorruptible inheritance, that city with eternal foundaVOL.

tions whofe builder and maker is God, which is the fubftance of our hope. Let us believe in the Lord Jefus Chrift; and we fhall be preferved from the ftorms of time, or be ftrengthened to fuftain them, Let us believe in the Lord Jefus Chrift; and however fierce may be the fiery trial which comes upon us, however our eyes may be confumed with grief, and wax old becaufe of all our enemies, we fhall be faved with everlafting falvation.
