[Footnote 97: Here again let it be remarked, that faith, where genuine, always supposes repentance, abhorrence of sin, &c.] [Footnote 98: Heb. xii. 1, 2.] [Footnote 99: It has been well remarked that the word used, where it is said, that God "was PLEASED to bruise" and put to grief his only Son for us, is the same word as that wherein it was declared by a voice from Heaven, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."] [Footnote 100: Vide Chap. iii. Where these were shewn to be the elementary principles of the passion of love.] [Footnote 101: Rom. v. 9. 10.] [Footnote 102: John xiii. 13-17. If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet, &c.] [Footnote 103: Vide Pascal's Thoughts on Religion--A book abounding in the deepest views of practical Christianity.] [Footnote 104: Pope.] [Footnote 105: The _Hell_, so called, be it observed, not by way of reproach, but familiarity, by those who frequent it.] [Footnote 106: Eph. ii.] [Footnote 107: The Rev. Matthew Babington of Temple Rothley, in Leicestershire, who died lately at Lisbon.] [Footnote 108: The author must acknowledge himself indebted to Dr. OWEN for this illustration.] [Footnote 109: The author here alludes to what happened within his own knowledge; and he has been assured by others, on whose testimony he can rely, of several similar instances. But to prevent misconstruction as to the incident which mainly gives rise to the remark, he thinks it necessary to declare, that the account, which appeared in some of the news-papers, of an entertainment having been given by Mr. Pitt on the Fast Day, is untrue; and he is glad of the opportunity, which the mention of this subject affords him, of contradicting a statement which he can positively affirm to have been false. This is one of the many instances which should enforce on the readers of news-papers, the _duty_ of not _hastily_ giving credit to reports to the disadvantage of _any_ man, of _any_ party. A person in a public station must often acquiesce under the grossest calumnies; unless he will undertake the vain and endless task of contradicting all the falsehoods which prejudice may conceive, and malignity propagate against him.--The writer may perhaps express himself with the more feeling on this subject; because he has often been, and, indeed, at this very moment is, in the circumstances which he has stated.]
