blessed with power to thousands that hear me. O ye that are by-standers and hearers only, in whatever corner of this house you be, round me, whether in my view or not, you are in God’s view. I have a word from him to you all, what a terrible thing; it is to live and die in unbelief with-respect to this glorious device: may we kiss the SON or GOD in whom all these Attributes of God do kiss and embrace each other, Psal. ii. Song i 2. . Let him kiss me with the kiss of his mouth, for his love is better than wine-.—My heart says, O let him come and. embrace me; and draw me out of the embracements of my former lovers and lasts, that i may never kiss any idol in the world: but may live and die in the arms and' sweet embraces of the Son of God. Why then the embracement betwixt Christ and you is begun that shall never have an end, for it is a pledge that he and you shall: meet together in heaven, and embrace each other to eternity O man, woman, lass, lad, unconcerned soul,' be what you will, O yet will you come and see this great sight; O come and see the greatest sight that ever was or will Be in heaven or earth,—bush burning and not consumed';—all the burning and shining Attributes of God meeting together with infinite harmony in the bush of our nature, and yet the bush able to bear the glory, Zech iii. 13 0 come and wonder, here is the wonder of men and angels; for this is a wonderful meeting to them: and the name of the meeting-place is justly called WONDERFUL — His delights were with the sons of men! O come and sing to the praise and glory of him who caused this harmonious embracernent of divine perfections in Christ- Glory to God, that there is no breaking of this meeting, nor parting of these embraces by sin, Satan, earth, or hell; but that they meet and embrace each-other to eternity, and though you cannot mind to sing all that hath been said; yet I hope the weakest memory may mind to sing the best note of this sermon every day, saying, Glory to God that Mercy and Truth have met together, Righteousness and Peace have kissed each other.
