fhould
honour
God
for
the greatefl
Gift that
ever
was, for the Incarnation
of
his
Sonne;
to
be
more prophanely difpofed then
and
to
give
our
(elves
to
more
Toole
courfes then at
other
times
;
how can
it but
provoke
the
Juftice
of
God efpecially it
being common?
Among(}
other
things,
we
may
juftly
looke
for
the
Ven-
geance
of
God
for
this
,
not
onely
upon
this
or
that
place
,
for
it
is
the fault
of
chriitendome.
Shall wecarryour
felvesthusprophanely
at
thefe
timcs,
when
we
fhould
walke
in a
holy
difpofiti-
on
?
Is
this the
way
to
be thankef'ull
to
God
?
Let
us
labour
to
entertains
and
embrace thefe
Myfteries
of
the Gofpel
as wee
fhould, witha
fu
table carriage to them
:for
the
Gofpel will no
j
longer tarry,then it hath
Curable
love
and
affeai
ons
to
the
greatnefl'e of
the
thing.
The Gofpel
may
leave
us
we
know
not
how foone,and
goe
to
people
that
are as
barbarous
as we
were, before
the
Gofpel
came
to
us.
The
Romans
thought,
they
had
Viaory
tyed
to
them
;
but
we
have
not
thefe Myfteries
of
the
Gofpel tyed to
us.
If
we
labour
not for
ananfverable carriage;
as
God bath
removed the
Gape!
from
the Eafterne
Churches
of
Afia,
that
are
under the tyrannie
of
the
Turks now, fo he
may,
and
we
know
not how
Toone,
take away thefe bleffed and
glorious
My-
lleries.
Let
us
reverence
thefe Myfteries
, and
blefhe
God
for
them,
and
labour to
expreffe
our
thankfulneffe
in our lives and
convcrfations,that
God
may
delight
to
continue with
us,
and con-
tinue
his blefï'rd
Truth
among us. Doe
