Excerpt: like a. netc-born babe, it desires the sincere milk of the word, that it may grow thereby. But as the mind, at such a time, finds little inclination to contend about words and phrases, it would be much less proper for me, to enter into any controversy about them here. Let it suffice for the present, that I have given you this plafn representation of that change, which is wrought in a man's apprehensions, when he is made a new creature. When old things are passed away, he has new apprehensioru of GOD, of himself, of Christ, of eternity, and of the way to obtain the happiness of it: and as at this happv. ttme all. things are become new, there are " new affections, new resolutions, new labours, new enjoyments, and new hopes," which are the result of the change already described. But it will be much more difficult to reduce what I have to offer on these heads, within the bounds of the next Discourse, than proper to attempt any of them in this. Go home, my friends, and try yourselves by what you have already heard; and be assured, that if you are condemned by this part of the description, it is impossible you should be approved by any that will follow; since they have all their foundation in this. ; /. iPet. ii.?. . ti .'i ..] i . i . i. i . ils 1.. . :. .: . . in 1 f. t. :ji.. i ....... ../. no " .. . .. i 1 '. .'. .
