DIRECTIONS, &c.

VII. Read this excellent word with application to yourſelves, as if God ſpoke to you by name and ſirname in every line of it. Read it as a love-letter ſent ſtraight from heaven to you, and to ſtir you up to faith and holineſs. Let us accept of its reproofs and admonitions, with thankfulneſs: and ſay, what a great mercy is it, that we may read our Father's will in our mother tongue? And, that God ſpeaks his mind ſo plainly to us in his word, ſhewing us what we are to believe, what we are to do, and what we are to pray for, in order to God's glory, and our own happineſs.

FINIS.
