JESUS, 0 SAVIOUR. 2 r 3 Him,Thy throne, 0GOD, is for everand ever ; aScepter of Righteoujnefs is de Scepter of thy Kingdom.* No Words in the World, nor any Ideas of Words, can more mag nificently\ exprefs or conceive the of ential primmval Divinity of the everlafting SON, than thefe. Thus we have the Teftimony of Men, of Angels, and ofGOD, all corroborating the Evidence of his own FaEts and Words ; that Jefas Chr, the Saviour of Sir.ners, is JEHOVAH in human Flefh, and the ever- bleffedLORD fromHeaven.

Nor can it otherwife be ; for they have a Confiftency' only in their Relation to the Myftery of Godlinefs, GOD manifeji in the I-'.'cih, and from thence derive their Senfe and Meaning.
