Is there a lust or passion, a vice or misery, an evil or danger, common to mankind, which is not in it deprecated and deplored ? Is there a grace of Christianity, a virtue, which can adorn and bless the human character, a thing essential to life or godliness, which is not celebrated in it, and devoutly sought ? Is there a condition of prosperity or adversity, of joy or 20 fibrrow, to which man can be brought, in which he may not find vent lor his wishes in that eminently complete production, th...e litany ; and for his praises, in the thanks- giving, and the psalms ? As was the case with the food, furnished ibr the Israehtes in the wilderness, there is in this service provision made for every man, according to his necessities, and the necessities of his household. But that which renders this property of our liturgy very admirable, is the skill with which it is so framed, as to be adapted to the use ai all classes and orders of men% The high and the low, the rich and the poor, the old and the young, the ruler and the subject, the master luid the slave, tlie saint and the sijiner, may each find in it an oblation, meet for him to offer, and a blessing worthy to be thankfully received.
