The right manner ofdrawing nigh alcendup in the flame, and foGodwill account his Name to be fandified, tkeName ofGod is not fandified but through Jefus, Chrill : The Jtting of our Faith upon Chrift as Mediator is a f p-ciall ingredient to the Sandifying ofGods Name in a holy. Duties ; as you know the Scripture faith, That the Altar cloth Sandifie the Gifc offered upon the Altar. Jefus Chrift is the Al tar upon whom all our Spiritual' Sacrifices are to be offered,,, and this Altar cloth Sandifie the Gift that is offered upon it, let never fogreat a Gilt be offered upon anyother Altar, it was not, accomed holy, nor accepted : So let men by their natural iliengal or power that they have, offer up the molt Glorious and Epeciouieft Service to God, it is not accepted except it be offered upupon theAltar Jefus Chrift : We have an Altar now, not the Communion Table, but Jefus Chrift himfelE is our AI- jar, upon whom we are to offer all our Sacrifices, and thisAltar muft fandifie the Gift ; we can never have our Gift fantified no, nor Gods Name fandified in his Gift, except it beoffered up- on this Altar, andour Faith aced upon Jefus Chrift.
