Now, as the whole fcheme of redemption, through Chrift, is founded on the fallen and ruined ftate of mankind, then the firft thing neceflary to effed their recovery from Tuin, is to make our hearers fenfible, deeply fenfible, that this is their ftate, in particular. Till this is done, we may preach againft this vice and that vice, to no purpofe ; and we may preach morality till we preach it all out of the world. I firmly believe there never was, and never will be, one foul brought to take one r...ight ftep, in the way to heaven, by merely preaching morality. * Chrift is the way, and the on- ly way pointed out in the gofpel. And if ever we bring fin- ners to Chrift, as the way, and to clofe with him, on gofpel terms, we muft fo preach as to make them feel extreme need of him. For, they that are whole, need not the Physician, but they thai are sick. We muft, therefore, labour, by all means, to expofe, in the moft alarming colours, the entire depravity and univer- * I speak of iuch as are under the gospel.
