unto God and the Father, to him be glory and domi- nion for ever and ever. Amen'."
Lastly, seek these blessings with a due confidence that you shall not seek in vain. Recollect, who were the persons of whom these things were spoken ? They were sinners of no common stamp. Such were the enormities which many of them had committed, that they seemed to be almost beyond the reach of mercy : yet of them was it said, " But ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God'." Let none then entertain the doubt, ' Shall Christ be made all this to ME ?' for he shall be so made to every believing soul ; nor shall the vilest sinner in the uni- verse be suffered to seek God's face in vain^ Only let the pursuit of these things be your great object in life (for, what is there that can for a moment be put in competition with them ?) and there shall not be a soul amongst us, who shall not be able to say, ' I am the happy person in whom all this blessedness is realized ;' ' Of God am I in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto me wisdom, and righteousness, and sanc- tification, and redemption ; and in him do I glory, yea and will glory throughout all the ages of eternity.' May this be the happy experience of us all, for Christ's sake! Amen and Amen.
