Take with you from its perusal, these last and solemnly repeated truths-That BY NATURE 66 THE HEART IS DECEITFUL ABOVE ALL THINGS and desperATELY WICKED”—THAT GRACE MUST RENEW IT-THAT WATCHFULNESS MUST KEEP IT-AND THAT ITS SANCTIFICATION MUST BRIGHTEN UNTIL ITS ENTRANCE GLORY. UPON Touchingly indeed has a Christian poet expressed my closing monition "But know! there dwells within that breast A spirit, an immortal guest! In beauty, more resplendent far Than damask rose, or evening star. Which, envious Death! survives the hour, When mortals own thy withering power. Worth all thy care, worth all thy art. THAT MUST BE NOBLE, WHICH TO GOD'S ALLIED, AND WORTH ALL CARE FOR WHICH A SAVIOUR DIED.' THE END. |
