we now
sow

INTRODUCTION.
THESE
words
are
a
short description
of
hell, by
the
lips
of
the
Son
of
.
God,
who carne down from heaven
:
And
he who lay
in
the bosom
of
his
Father,
and
was
in-
timate
in
all
the counsels
of
his
mercy and justice, must
be
suppòsed
to
know
what the
terrors
and
the
wrath
of
God
are,
as
well as his
compassion and
his
goodness.
It
is
confessed,
that
a
discourse on this
dreadful
subject
-
is'not
a
direct
ministration
of
grace,
and the
glad tidings
of
salvation,
yet
it
has
a
great
and
happy tendency
to
the
same end, even the
salvation
of
sinful men
;
for
it
awakens them
to a
more piercing
sight,
and
to
a
more
.
keen sensation
of
their
own
guilt and danger
;
