I
befeech
you confider,
theufual
way
of
Gods working on
men
is
according
to
his
Ordinance
:
Now
the
ordinary
way
of
Gods
conveying grace
is
by the
Miniftry
of
the
Word
;
Did.
God
ever appoint any
other
way
to convey
Chrifl,
and
grace
to
thy
Soul
?

,way
as
an
Ordinance
appointed
by
God,
.
for
the
conveying
of
his
pardoning grace
in
Chrift
to
any
Soul
?
No
it
is
in
the
Miniftry
of
the
Gofpel,and
by
faith,that
lays
hold:
of
the pardoning grace
of
God,
by corning to
hear the
Word:
preached
;
Now if God
come
not
in
that
time
to
work
upon
thee,
and
to
bellow
mercy
in his
own appointed
way,
it
is
not
.
likely
he
will come
any other way
t
I
remember
in
a
Treatife
of
Mr. Boltot's,
he has
this
expreffion,
Let
any
one
give
me
an
example,
that
ever
any
one
that lived
under
a
powerful
Mini
-
flry,
and
not
favingly
wrought
upon
that
way, was
ever
wrought
.
upon
any other
way
;
many he lays
may
be
flirred,
but
for
his
part
he knew
none
that
was
fo
ftirred
by
affliftion
to
the con
-
verfion
of
their
fouls,
if God
had
not
before in
the
Ordinances
of
grace
wrought
upon them
:
then
it muff needs
be
the
worff
time that
can
be
to
Peek
pardon
of
fin in
a
day of trouble
or
of
fliftion,
becaufe
that
is
ufually
a time
of
Gods,
wrath
vifiting'
