— - Moreover, he can deliver you from all your fears ; from sin, the worst of all evils ; from self, the most hurtful of all companions ; from death, the most aw- ful of all changes ; from satan, the most subtle of all enemies ; from hell, the most horrible of all pri- sons ; and from wrath, the doom of all sinners. Now, where will ye find such an one as he ? Why, . Then, refuse life, and seek after death ? All heaven is enamoured with his beauty ; and why, then, will ye prefer a midnight-gloom... before his meridian glory ?

Why will not the world awaken from its fatal dream, let go shadows, and grasp at everlast- ing substance ? Alas 1 I can say nothing of his excel- lencies ; they overwhelm my labouring thought, and are too vast for my feeble conception to bring forth.
