THE
FIRST
PART.
I
P
these words were
not written
in
the bible,
and
by
that
means grown
old
and familiar
to
us,
but if
they
had
.come
immediately
'into,
the
midst
of
any assembly
in
Great
=
Britain,
by
a voice
from
heaven,
how would
they
awaken
our
ears,
and
impress
our 'souls
!
Surely every
one amongst'
us,
that
sees
himself
in
danger
of
perishing,
'would listen
with
eager
attention
to
the word
that
calls
and
invites
him,
to
he saved.
The
British
islands havè
been
reckoned
by
the ancients
to
be
the ends
of
the
earth
;
and
we,
the
inhabitants
thereof, should
be
-strangely
surprized and
pleased,
at
such
langpage from
the tipper
world.
.
'Our thoughts would be crouded
with
hasty enquiries,
"
whence
is
this blessed
-
voice
?
is
it
from
heaven
in-
deed
?
Who
is
it that
invites perishing wretches
to
'"'salvation
?
Am
not
I
within
the reach and
compass
of
this
call
?
Is
it
-net
I
that
am invited
?
And
is
not
the
'-" blessing
suited
to my case
and
my
danger
?
What
tnust
I
do to
partake of it
?
And
what
assurance
can
I
' '`-`
have
that it
shall
be
conferred upon me
?"
Such
enquiries
as
these should
be
raised
in us
at
this
time,
if
we
do
but
pay as
just
a deference
to
the
voicq
of
God
when
he
spoke
of
old
by
a prophet,
as we
would
if
he
spake
now by
a
sudden
miracle:
And
though
all
these
