SERMON I.

ON ORDINATION.

ISAIAH Ixi. 1-3.

The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord

hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he

hath sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim

liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them

that are bound; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord,

and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that

mourn; to appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give

unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the

garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they

might be called Trees of righteousness, The planting of the

Lord, that he might be glorified

PSALM xxiv.

The earth is the Lord's, and all that therein is; the compass

of the world, and they that dwell therein. For he hath

founded it upon the seas, and prepared it upon the floods.

Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? or who shall

rise up in his holy place? Even he that hath clean hands,

and a pure heart; and that hath not lift up his mind unto

vanity, nor sworn to deceive his neighbour. He shall re-

ceive the blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from

the God of his salvation. This is the generation of them

that seek him; even of them that seek thy face, O Jacob.

Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye

everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.

Who is the King of glory? it is the Lord strong and mighty,
