On
the Excellency
of Chrif,
when it
hath an eye
to
fee ,
but
finch
an
obje6t
as
the
very
fettinr, of
it
before
the
foul
, bath
-a
quicking power
to
work
life
in
the
joui
,
to caule
an eye
to
fee
him
,
and
to
caufe
the heart
to
make
after
him,
though it was
never
fo dead before
:
And
it
fhould bee
the
work
of Mininers
to
fet
Jefus Chrift
before
the hearts of
people,
before
their
eyes
continually , and
though
it
may bee there comes
nothing of
it
this time
,
I
but try
it
again ,
and
though
nothing
comes.yof
it
the
other time
,
but they
paffe
all
lightly
by,
an
little
regard
the
glory of
God,
that
ap-
pears
in
Jefus
hrifi, yet
hee
is
to
bee
fen
before
them
again and again
;
who
knows when
the quickning power
and
life
may
come from Chrifl
?
Now
this
is
the fcope
of
the letting
Chrifi
thus before you
;
This
day
I
have
en-
deavoured
to
fer
him but
a
little
before
you
in
the
opening
this
Title
of
his.
Let
this bee
the
Life
of
it ,
Oh when
you
go
home,
go
and
meditate
of
what bath been Paid, and labour when
you are before God
,
which is
the
time for
the
exercifing
of
your
faith
upon
Chrili,
Labour
to
fer
Jefus
Chritl
before your
eyes,
and look upon
him
as
the
great
Won-
der
of
the
World,
and never leave meditating until
you
finde your heart come
to,
this,
to
admire
at
the Glory of
God
in Jefus
Chrifi
;
If
ever your
hearts were
taken
reich
admiration at any
thing in the
World,
Oh
let
them bee
taken
up
with
the
admiration of
Jefus Chrili; this may con-
fidently
bee
concluded
upon,
that
that
Soul
that
never
found
its
fell
taken
with
admiring
of
the Glory
of Cod
in
Chrifi,
did
never know what Chrifi
meant
;
for
Chrili
is
fuch
a
kinde
of
Saviour,
that
if Goddo
propound Chrifi
to
the
Soul in
any
meafure ,
it
is
impoflìble,
but
that
the
heart
muli bee taken
with him.
There
is
a
Saviour
fent
into the
World,
bee
that
is
the Object of
my
faith,
and
by him
my
Soul
fhall bee
faired.
Nov
the
firfi work
of
the
heart,
is
for
to
think this
is
too'good to
bee
t
ue ,
do not
the-efore
think
that
you
muff
`bee
onely
faved
by
Jefus Chrifi
,
but know
what manner
of
Saviour
it
is ;
its
hee whofe
Name
is
