_REMARKS_
ON THE SCRIPTURE HISTORY OF
SAUL, &c.


          “WOE ALSO TO THEM WHEN I DEPART FROM THEM.”  Hosea ix, 12.

               “GOD IS DEPARTED FROM ME, AND ANSWERETH ME NOT.”
                              1 Sam. xxviii. 15.

       _To all those who love the Lord Jesus Christ in Sincerity_.

BELOVED,

IT is your mercy the divine Spirit is the glorifier of Jesus; that he has
set him forth in his word as the Christ of God; what he is, what he has
done, and what he has graciously said to his people.  This is the work of
our faith, to receive as we need, these things, all the way to heaven.

The person of Jesus is the delight of the Father, the glory of heaven,
and the foundation of the Church, considered as God-man Mediator.—The
glories of his person is revealed in the word, but we must die to see
them in full perfection, and no doubt that will be an heaven worth dying
for: but blessed be God we are not wholly in the dark about these
excellencies, so runs the promise, _They __shall all know me_, _from the
least to the greatest_.—His person is truly blessed; his love is
immutable; his work is honorable and glorious, exactly suited to all the
necessities, of his people.  His covenant engagements, his precious
offices, his sweet titles and characters, the Father’s gracious
acceptance of the work he accomplished, and to which he had called and
appointed him.  These, and a thousand more interesting points, are set
forth as matters
