7 The fulness of thy grace receive, And simply to thy glory live; Strongly reflect the light divine, And in a land of darkness shine. 8 In them let all mankind behold, How Christians liv’d in days of old; (Mighty their envious foes to move, A proverb of reproach――and love.) 9 O make them of one soul and heart, The all-conforming mind impart; Spirit of peace and unity, The sinless mind that was in thee. 10 Call them into thy wond’rous light, Worthy to walk with thee in white; Make up thy jewels, Lord, and shew, The glorious, spotless church below. 11 From every sinful wrinkle free, Redeem’d from all iniquity: The fellowship of saints make known; And O my God, might I be one! 12 O might my lot be cast with these, The least of Jesu’s witnesses! O that my Lord would count me meet To wash his dear disciples feet! 13 This only thing do I require, Thou know’st ’tis all my heart’s desire, Freely what I receive to give, The servant of thy church to live: 14 After my lowly Lord to go, And wait upon the saints below, Enjoy the grace to angels given, And serve the royal heirs of heaven. 15 Lord, if I now thy drawings feel, And ask according to thy will, Confirm the prayer, the zeal impart, And speak the answer to my heart. 16 Tell me (or thou shalt never go) “Thy prayer is heard, it shall be so”―――― The word hath pass’d thy lips――and I Shall with thy people live and die. A farther APPEAL To MEN of REASON and RELIGION. _Let the righteous smite me friendly and reprove me._ Psalms CXLI. 5. PART I. IN a former treatise I declared, in the plainest manner I could, both my principles and practice; and answered some of the most important, as well as the most common objections to each. But I have not yet delivered my own soul. I believe it is still incumbent upon me to answer other objections, particularly such as have been urged by those who are esteemed religious or reasonable men. These partly relate to the _doctrines_ I teach, partly to my _manner_ of teaching them, and partly to the _effects_ which are supposed to follow from teaching these doctrines in this manner.
