And now, my dear hearers, how find you your hearts affected at the relation of this notable miracle which JESUS wrought? are you not ready to break out into the language of the song of _Moses_, and to say, “Who is like unto thee, O LORD, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, continually doing wonders!” Marvellous are thy works, O JESUS, and that our souls know right well! But we must not stop here, in admiring what the LORD did for _Bartimeus_; this, no doubt, as well as other parts of Scripture, was written for our learning, upon whom the ends of the world are come; consequently, as was proposed in the
_Second_ place, we should see what spiritual improvement can be made of this history, upon which we have already been making some remarks.
