Rh reſtored Soul! What infinite Sums doſt thou owe Chriſt! With what ſingular Frames muſt thou walk, and do every Duty! on Sabbaths, what praiſing Days, ſinging of Hallelujahs, ſhould they be to thee! Church Fellowſhip, what a Heaven, a being with Chriſt, and Angels and Saints Communion; what a drowning the Soul in eternal Love, as a Burial with Chriſt, dying to all Things beſides him.

Bleſſed Soul! whom Chriſt ſhall find not having on his own Righteouſneſs, Phil. 3. 9. But having his Robes waſhed and made white in the Blood of the Lamb, Rev. 7. 14. Woful miſerable Profeſſor! that hath not the Goſpel within, reſt not in Church-Trials; thou may'ſt paſs that, and be caſt away in Chriſt's Day of Trial: Thou may'ſt come to Baptiſm, and never come to JESUS, and the Blood of Sprinkling, Heb. 12. 24.
