shout
to
the praise and glory
of
his
grace
;
"
not
to
us,
O Lord,
not
to
us,
but
to thy name
be
all
the
ho-
nour
!"
Ps.
cxv.
L
Thirdly,
It
shall be
the
matter of our
wonder,
and
the
glory
of Christ in
that
day,
'"
that
so many
thousand
guilty wretches
should
be
made righteous
by
one
righter
ousness,
cleansed in one laver
from,
all
their
iniquities;
and
sprinkled unto
pardon
and sanctification with
the
blood
of
one
man
Jesus
Christ.
See
the
great multitude
that
no man could
number, Rev.
vii. 9,
10.
They
all
"
washed
their
robes,
and made
them
white in
the blood
of
the
Lamb," verse
14.
It
is
a matter
of
wonder to
us
now on
earth,
that
the
blessed Son
of God,
who
is
one
with
the
Father, should
stoop
so
low
as to
unite himself
to a
mortal
nature,
that
he
should become a
poor
despicable man, and pass
through
a
life
of
sufferings
and
sorrows, and die
an ac-
cursed death, to redeem
us
from
guilt and deserved mi-
sery: But
when
we
shall
see him in his
native
glory
and
lustre,
his
acquired
dignities,
and
all the
honours
of
heaven heaped upon
him,
it
will
raise
our
wonder
high,
to
think,
that
such
a
one should once humble
himself to
the death
of
the cross
;,
the
death
of
the vilest
slave,
that
hé might
save
our
souls
from
dying; that
he
should
pour
out
his own
blood,
to wash off
the
stains
of
millions
of
sins,
that
we
might
appear
righteous before
a
God
of
holiness.
Then
shall
the
multitude
of
the saved
join
in
that
song,
"To
him
that
loved
us,
and
washed us
from
our
sins in his own blood, be glory
and dominion for
ever,"
Rev.
i.
5,
6.
"
Worthy
is
the Lamb
that
was
slain,
to receive power and riches, and honour,
for
thou
hast redemed
us.with
thy blood from every
kindred,
tribe, and nation," Rev.
v.
9,
12.
Then
shall those blessed words
of
scripture appear,
and
shine in full glory, howsoever
they
are
often
passed
over
in silence,
and too
much
forgotten
in
our
age,
Rom.
v. 17, 19,
221.

If

one man's offence,'
death
reigned
by
one;
much more they
which receive
abund-
ance
of
grace,
and
of
the gift
of
righteousness, shall
reign
in life
by
one
Jesus
Christ.
For
as
by one man's
disobedience
many were made
sinners:
So
by
the obedi-
ence
of
one,
shall many be made righteous.
