THE MOTIVE AND MEANS FOR GLORIFYING GOD.

1 COR. vi. 20. For ye are bought with a price: therefore glo-

rify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. 113

TITUS iii. 3-6.-For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish,

disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, liv-

ing in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.

But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour to-

ward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we

have done, but according to his mercy, he saved us, by the

washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;

which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our

Saviour.

saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of

the Holy Ghost; which he shed on us abundantly through

Jesus Christ our Saviour; that, being justified by his grace,

we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. 196

SERMON X.

RELIGIOUS JOY SURMOUNTING TEMPORAL ADVERSITY.

HABAK. iii. 17-19.-Although the fig-tree shall not blossom,

neither shall fruit be in the vine; the labour of the olive

shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall

be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the

stalls: yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God

of my salvation. The Lord God is my strength, and he will

make my feet like hinds' feet, and he will make me to walk

upon mine high places.

prayer.

SERMON XII.

THE DEATH OF THE RIGHTEOUS A CALL FOR SERIOUS

ISAIAH lvii. 1, 2.-The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth

it to heart; and merciful men are taken away, none consid-

ering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come.

He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, each

one walking in their uprightness.
