Oa

the

excilicacy

of

.Chrif.

157

brm

s

thee under

it,

and thou

feed

the bóxomelefs pit even

ready open for

thee,

and

the

horrible

vile iniquities

that

thou

halt

been guilty

of,

prefenting'themfelves unto thee

with-

all the

aggravations of

them;

fuppofe all this,And thou

(landed

now

before

the

great

God,

ready

to

receive

the

fentence

of

thy eternal

elate.

Now

thefe things may

make thy

heart

to

(hake ,

and

indeed

they will where they

are

feen

really

;

But

in

the

midfl

of fuck

a

light;

if

,God

do

but

give

thee

a

fight

of

thy

Redeemer that

is

fo

Won-

derful,

here

is

enough

to

draw forth

Faith

,

yea

to be-

get

Faith

in

the foul;

let

this bee

but prefented, whatfoe-

ver

thy mifery

:bee,

yet know,

here

is

a

wonderful

Re-

deemer,

who

cannot onely

cure .ordinary difeafes;

and

de-

liver in ordinary

troubles;

but

can-

wonderfully

deliver, and

no cure can

bee too

hard for him

;

Oh

therefore thou

troubled

foul

!

that

dolt

apprehend

the

evil

ofthy

fin, and

the

dreadful

danger

that

thou

art

in

:

Oh

that

thou could

-

eit but

fee this

wonderful

Redeemer

before

thee

!

thou

wouldefl

fee

him

to

bee

an

:object for

the

molt

vile

wretchedefl finner

that

ever lived

upon

'the face

Of

the

earth to

red

upon

;

And becaufe

God"

the

Father accounts

wonderfully

of

his

Son; therefore

it

is

that

bee would

not

have

us

onely to beleeve

in

his Son

in

ordinary cafes, but

in

extraordinary cafes;

you

that are beleevers, and

hope

you

have

any

part in Chrifl, know;

that God

expeRs

that

you fhould

faniEtifie,

his Son as

á

wonderful

Redeemer;

now, if

yon

can onely beleeve_in

Chrifl

in

an

ordinary

way,

when your

condition

is

ordinary,

and

your

ílraights not ve-

ry

great,

this

is

not

to

fan&ifie Chrifl as

a

wonderful

Savi-

our.

Now

let

this

bee but laid- to

thy

heart when

temp-

tations

are flroná,. and when thy'

heart

is

ready

to

fink

in

any

extremity

;

It

may

bee temptation

comes

and

tells

thee thy condition

is

extraordinary,

who was

ever

fo

left of

God

as

thou

art,

then

do

but lay

thefe truths

upon thy

heart, that

have

been revealed in

the

opening of the

Wora-

derfulnefs

of

ChriRR,

and even fay thus to thy

foul

,

kut.

oh

my

foul

!
