Nor is the World much better now; the preſent Miniſters

Jem, and the Scorn of a Gemiles And if they da not ſucceed = 
the Apoſtles in their Authority, they m Lam ſure, too 
plainly their Succeſſors in that Scorn and Contempt which 
was at firſt ſo plentifully caſt upon them. But ĩt is the grea · 
_ teſt Aggravation to theſe their 3 that their greateſt 

Foes are thoſe of their own Hauſbuld. For there are Men 00

But however, Wan be what they 1 5 15

3 EF" Wy; Sean Preach before 


callncy g the Knowledge of Chriſt Feſus my Saviour, Phil. 
iii. 8. e Knowledge of him, and His: bleſſed Goſpe el, 'was 
what he only valued himſelf upon; and — he glo- 
ried, he gloried in this, that he was a Chriſtian, and * | 
happily eſca cles ped out of the Bondage of the Lam, into the 705 
rious Lzberty of the Sons of God. No longer in bis own, but 
in his Saviour's Righteouſneſs, does he nale bis'boaſt;. and 
his Foy in the Lord was almoſt as inexpreſſible as his T een 
when he was wrapt up into the third Heaven. 
All that the World cou d do to take him off Hoh Chrilt's 
Service, was wholly ineffectual; its Frowns and Severities 
he return d with a Smile, and the Jeers and Reproaches Men 
caſt upon him, always recoil'd upon themſelves. So that Men 
might as [ſoon put the very Foundations the World out of 
their natural Courſe, as divert him from his Chriſtian one. 

He was as it were overcome with the Love of his Saviour,

ſtudy of genealogies was ever cultivated and 
*. honoured among the Gentiles , and much 


boaſt 
ther, that they w ere hewn from this rock. 


* 


And we Chriſtians, tho' informed by Scrip- 


ture that our forefathers are but ſojourners up- | 
on earth, are yet prompted by nature to pre- 


ſerve the memorials of them: we too enrol 


their names, and garniſh their ſepulchers.; 
and tho' many generations of them are palled 


away, yet we think it no ſmall luſtre ro our 
family. to be able to fay, that their tombs 


are with us to this day. Vea in general, 


the tombs of the dead. are more venerable 
than the palaces of the living; - and that ſci- 


ence of genealogies, ſo honoured among all 


nations, is founded. on this hereditary glory. 
Thus far is the direction of Nature, indu- 


cing all the ſons of men, Gentiles, Jews, 


and Chriſtians, to own their original alliance, 


that they were hewn from one rock: by this 
they all ſeem to /ook back to Adam their Ja- 


1 and to Eve that bare them. 
No if inſtinct teaches us to pay fach re- 
d to thoſe wlio are our fathers .

God the former relation of deſcent is of no 


account: they are not reckoned among the 


ſeed or race of Abraham, who were lineally 
deſcended from him, born after the fleſh; . 
but only thole, who were made children by 
the Covenant. By this Covenant the Lene 


ham, as the Jew 3 in "cho land; and he 
children, which God did all along raiſe up 
unto Abraham out of | theſe ſtones, were as 
mach accepted, as thoſe heun our of th

And if it be FER W to deſcend
