izers abounding in our land. So likewise the poison pervading the whole Romish system need cause us no alarm, were it not found to be very pleasant to the diseased appetites lurking in ourselves. Let us then apply with faith to Him, whose blood can make clean our consciences, whose Spirit can make holy our lives. With our reason enlightened by his truth, with our affections quickened by the glad tidings of his love, and with our hands stretched forth for union "with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity," (Eph. 6. 24,) let us uniformly look to Him as the Bishop of our souls, our Prophet, our Priest, our King, our sole infallible Teacher, our only Mediator and Advocate, our all-sufficient Sacrifice and Saviour, our uncreated Lord and God. Heavenly Father, to whose goodness we owe the deliverance of this church and nation from the deadly errors and sore bondage of the papal superstition and dominion, make us duly thankful for these benefits. Preserve us, we beseech Thee, as Thou hast done signally aforetime, from the open violence, and from the secret plots, of antichristian Rome. And as Thou hast planted us in the full light of thy Gospel, do Thou continue unto us thy marvellous loving-kindness, by rooting thy truth firmly in our hearts, and making it to bear good fruit in our lives, to the praise of the glory of thy grace, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen. THE END. GILBERT & RIVINGTON, Printers, St. John's Square, London. NOW COMPLETE, RE-ISSUE OF THE HOLY BIBLE AND COMMENTARY, BY THE REV.
