The Thirteen Names of the First Patriarchs, Considered as Figurative of the Progressive Influence of the Spirit.: Being the Substance of Two Sermons, Preached on Wednesday March 24, and April 3, 1811, at the Obelisk Chapel
Church, J. (John)
Sermons, English -- 19th century
Thus, christian reader, I have shewn my opinion of the _Names of the
Patriarchs_. I have not written all I wished, lest it should swell this
Sermon to a volume. I have noticed some of the Lord’s dealings with my
own soul—every minister ought to give some account of a Work of Grace
upon his own heart; I have not made myself all in all, rather nothing at
all; I only aimed at the exaltation of that grace it is God’s delight to
display. I have chosen this method of sending it into the world,
because, as I went over these Names, various parts of my own experience
appeared so clear I could not forbear mentioning them, to the honour of
God. I originally intended to publish an Account of the Dealings of the
Lord with me, in a Series of Letters, when I could have been more
explicit and regular in my Narrative; but as I intend those Letters, only
for a few thoughts on some interesting passages of Scripture, I have made
mention of the above in this Sermon; this will no doubt procure me much
more opposition from friend and foe; however, what I have written is the
truth; to the God of all truth I commit it, hoping it will be blessed to
the friends of truth—remembering divine Love, or Charity, rejoiceth not
in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth, beareth all things, hopeth all
things, _endureth all things_.
FINIS.
