SERMON VIII.

Mark x. 51, 52.

And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt

thou that I should do unto thee? The blind

my sight. And Jesus said unto him, Go thy

way, thy faith hath made thee whole. And

immediately he received his sight, and followed

Jesus in the way

SERMON IX.

Heb. xii. 1, 2.

Let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which

doth so easily beset us, and let us run with

patience the race that is set before us, looking

unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our

faith: who, for the joy that was set before

Him, endured the cross, despising the shame,

and is set down at the right hand of the throne

of God

heat?

Nevertheless, we, according to His promise, look for

SERMON XIV.

Luke xviii. 11, 12, 13, 14.

The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself:

God, I thank Thee that I am not as other men

are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as

this publican. I fast twice in the week, I give

tithes of all that I possess. And the Publican

standing afar off, would not lift up so much as

his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast,

saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. I tell

you, this man went down to his house justified

rather than the other for every one that exalt-

eth himself shall be abased, and he that humbleth

himself shall be exalted

dreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the

throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white

robes, and palms in their hands; and cried with

a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which

sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.

And all the angels stood round about the throne,

and about the elders, and the four beasts, and

fell before the throne on their faces, and wor-

shipped God, saying, Amen: Blessing, and

glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and

honour, and power, and might, be unto our

God for ever and ever. Amen.

SERMON I.

PSALM lxvi. 14.

O come hither and hearken, all ye that fear God: and I will tell you what He has done for my soul.

If we would keep in view the end for which we were made, and suffer our thoughts to fix themselves on the goodness and the mercy of Him who made us, we must become improved. It would be utterly impossible, that the sins and wickednesses which so disgrace mankind, could abound amongst us as now they do.

We live in a world which is full of snares and temptations, and we are beset by enemies both within and without, against which it behoves us to be ever on the watch. The malice of the devil, that cursed spirit who goeth about like a ramping and a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour:
