would loose yourselves in the crowd, and say nobody sees me; but does not God Almighty see you? I hope you will be ready to communicate, and when I am gone that God will be with you as many of you will not hear me on Wednesday morning. O may this be your prayer, O for Jesus Christ's sake, in whose name I preach, in whose strength I desire to come up, and for whose honor I de sire to be spent, O do put up a word for me, it will not cost you much time, it will not keep you a moment from your business; O Lord Jesus Christ, thou art his God! and, Lord Jesus Christ, let him be thy glory! If I die in the waters, I shall go by water to heaven; if I land at the Orphan-house, I hope it will be a means to settle a foundation for ten thousand persons to be instructed; and if I go by the continent, as I intend to do, I hope God will enable me to preach Christ; and if I return again, my life will be devoted to your service. You will excuse me, I cannot say much more, affection works, and I could heartily wish, and I beg it as a favor, when I come to leave you, that you will excuse me from a particular parting with you; take my public farewel; I will pray for you when in the cabin, I will pray for you when storms and tempests are about me; and this shall be my prayer for the dear people of the Tabernacle, for the dear people of the Chapel, for the dear people of London; O God, be thou their God! and grant, that their God may be their glory. Even so, Lord Jesus! Amen.

An Infallible Medicine for the cure of a dangerous Disor. der, to be had Gratis.

WHEREAS, a most violent and dangerous disease has greatly prevailed in this neighborhood, as well as in many other places, much resembling the plague: à friend of mankind has thought it expedient to publish the following account of it, with its various symptoms and effects, and to recommend a method of cure, which has never failed in a single instance.

This disease has long been known among the learned by a variety of names. The Greek physicians called it AMARTIA. It may be discovered by the following symptoms. The head is always affected, particularly the eyes, so that most objects are mistaken for each other. The understanding is clouded. The patient is sometimes deaf, especially to certain subjects of discourse. The tongue is so strangely disordered, that it speaks perverse and and blasphemous words. The patient has occasional fits of lameness, especially when it is proposed to walk to a place of worship. But the heart is the principal seat of the disease, from the affections of which, the senses and members are also disordered. This disease is, upon good grounds, supposed to be hereditary, and may be traced back to the common parent of mankind. It is therefore universal; so that there never was but one Man in the world exempted from a taint of it.

The present effects of this disorder are very dreadful, It sometimes produces a raging fever, insatiable thirst, and extreme restlessness. The mind is at times alarmed and filled with anxiety. The patient discovers pride,

envy, malice, covetousness, and deceit. His family, friends, and neighbors, are frequently sufferers, as many in this place can testify. Magistrates are sometimes forced to interfere, and though they seldom attempt a cure, they prevent his doing further mischief.

But the final consequences of this disease are formida ble in the utmost degree. Unless timely assistance be afforded (which must generally be in the early stages of it,) the patient inevitably perishes. Death, dreadful death, must ensue; and that, attended with such circumstances of misery, horror, and despair, that humanity is constrained to draw a veil over the terrible scene.

It is necessary to add, that by far the greater part of those on whom it preys, are utterly insensible of their condition, and unwilling to admit that they are ill. It is probable that some who read this advertisement may feel themselves angry with this representation of their case, and be ready to throw it aside with disdain. A certain indication this, that the patient is dangerously disordered. But this may, at the same time, account for the general and fatal neglect of applying in time to

THE PHYSICIAN.

This extraordinary Man is not indeed a seventh son, but the only Son of a most high and distinguished personage. He was intended for the profession from his birth, and in all respects properly qualified for it. His skill, tenderness, and care, were never impeached by any one of the thousands of patients whom he has perfectly restored. His practice has been incomparably extensive, and millions can testify, that by Him the blind have received. their sight, the lame have leaped as an hart, lepers have been cleansed, the deaf have been made quick of hearing, and many dead persons have been restored to life. After a life of the most benevolent exertions, he was put to death by the malice of some ignorant practitioners, who envied his fame and success. However, the world still reaps the benefit of that specific medicine which he prepared. Certain persons, appointed by him, committed his advice to writing, and have recorded it in a most excellent

family book, which has gone through a thousand editions, and is commonly called

THE BIBLE.

Here we learn that sin is the great disease of the hu man race, that it has the most unhappy effects on the bodies and souls of men; that it has introduced all the miseries under which they groan Herein also we are taught that no man can cure himself of this disease; and though a multitude of quacks have recommended nostrums of their own, there is only one medicine in the world that can effect a cure.

Reader, go and learn what that meaneth: The blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth from all sin.

ANECDOTE.

THERE was an Italian Bishop who had struggled through great difficulties without repining, and who met with much opposition in the discharge of his episcopal function, without ever betraying the least impatience. An intimate friend of his, who highly admired these virtues, which he thought it impossible to imitate, one day asked the prelate if he could communicate the secret of being always easy? "Yes," replied the old man, “I can teach you my secret, and with great facility: It consists in nothing more than in making a right use of my eyes." His friend begged him to explain himself. "Most willingly," returned the bishop. "In whatsoever state I am, I first of all look up to heaven, and I remember that my principal business here, is to get there. I then look down upon the earth, and call to mind how small a space I shall occupy in it, when I come to be interred. I then look abroad into the world, and observe what multitudes there are, who are in all respects more unhappy than myself. Thus I learn where true happiness is placed, where all our cares must end, and how very little reason I have to repine or to complain."
