to my wants, which were far from being satisfied on Sunday. When you delivered the text my fears arose: I said in my heart, He is above me again; I shall go away again as I did on Sunday morning. However, you had not gone on far ere my heart was opened to attend to the things spoken; and sweetly did they come forth and find an entrance. I have been long at a loss to bring many things to hang together, which I have found in my experience, and more especially on that side which conveys light, life, and peace: bondage, darkness, trouble, death, the curse of the law, the depravity of the heart, &c. these were things I could receive; but many things that made for me I was shy of applying. Yet it pleased God to shew me that I was not destitute of those joints and bands your text led you to describe. I never before read or heard any thing that seemed so powerfully to establish my soul as what you then delivered. then delivered. There were, however, good things yet in store for me. On Tuesday evening, after your text, I had the same fears recurred, but they were speedily removed; and, as you went on, such light and power, accompanied with such sweetness, peace, calmness, submission, meekness, humbleness, and self-abasement, took possession of me, as I never found before; and they have continued with me in measure to this hour. I have often found more tumultuous feelings, if I may so call them; joy in God, self loathing in a view of divine forbearance and mercy;

and some seasons of sweet refreshing I have found, but mixed with such sudden changes, that I had no sooner found any thing sweet and pleasant, than they were dashed by a sudden suggestion that it was all a delusion, and that such things did not become me. I never till that night had that settled confidence, that of a truth what you brought out of the text it was no presumption in me to claim. Your appeals to conscience received from within an honest answer, and your description of the provision of God in the mount met a hearty welcome in my soul. These two things I found: the first the same as Peter did in the mount of transfiguration, Verily, said I, it is good for me to be here; and I felt a longing desire to have the privilege of living and dying under the ministry of the word from your mouth. I felt a reluctance to go back into the country and preach to others; I desire rather to sit down as a disciple under you, and receive such blessed portions in this channel from God. The other effect was, such an union of heart and soul with you took place, as caused me to cleave closer to you than ever; you was made manifest in my conscience, and became in my heart to live and die with you. How sweet and delightful are such seasons as these, when the covenant head is seen, believed in, and admired; and his servants received as messengers, and embraced as brothers! Indeed I cannot describe in what a frame I heard you preach, how I felt my soul go

out after you; and with what reverential fear and regard I took my leave of you. Receive this as a slight token of the union and harmony my soul delights to find in every remembrance of you, as of one whom God pointed out to me as a guide some years ago; whom now he is graciously pleased to bless, as a repairer of the breach and a restorer of paths to dwell in.

'I had written thus much when your letter was brought in to me; and I thank you most cordially for all your kindness. We were very full on Sunday, when I failed not to publish to them of Gath and Askelon the wonderful things God hath done for us. This, together with the inscription in front, makes some gnash, and others rave; they cannot contain their displeasure, but vent it in reproaches and curses; they are filled with madness. However, there is a strait jacket for such gentry; and I know they cannot hurt me, but do me good. I am happy to hear of your success in letting down the net; I rejoice that God brings any bound under the word; much more joy must you have, that he is pleased to give enlargement. May the Most High bless you more and more, both you and your children, so

prays,

'Yours affectionately,

'B. W. J.'

Thus my reader may perceive that God works, and none can let or hinder. You may see also in this how the devil and his evangelists have laboured together to prejudice the mind of this gentleman against that very instrument by whom God had ordained the sealing of his soul up to the days of eternal redemption. And I shall leave my reader to guess how precious such evangelists must appear in the eyes of this poor gentleman, after hearing so many imprecations heaped on the head of one whom God had appointed and now owned to heap so many covenant blessings on his head. And now, to convince my reader that the opprobrious name of Antinomian is not applied or given to those who live in all manner of sin, as they would insinuate, but chiefly to those who are partakers of the Holy Ghost (for the reproachful name follows the Spirit's quickening and soul-reviving power), I tell him beforehand that he must soon expect every pulpit to ring with the account of another Antinomian springing up at Brighthelmstone in Sussex. And, as the young gentleman is not six weeks old in grace, he is hardly up to the neck in sin already. As this good man is raised up to bear a part of my burden, I now expect a cessation of arms, or to go into winter quarters, while they are spending their strength in belabouring him. I have no doubt but he is one of that sort that can bear it; and, if so, the more they reproach and resist him, the more will God comfort and strengthen

him. As his sufferings abound, so will his consolations abound, and for shame he shall have double, and for confusion he shall rejoice in his portion; therefore in this land he shall possess double: everlasting joy shall be unto him.

But I must return to my subject, and shall bring forth a few of those passages of scripture which countenance and confirm me in what is called Antinomianism, which are as fallows:

Moreover, "The law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth," and no longer. The believer suffered death, the penalty of the law, in his head and surety, Christ Jesus; and he becomes dead to the law by the body of Christ, and is married to another, who is raised from the dead, that he might bring forth fruit unto God, Rom. vii. 4. Nor is the law this marriage covenant, but the covenant of grace, Hos. ii. 19. The law works wrath not union; nor is it productive of fruitfulness, but barrenness, for all that are under it bring forth fruit unto death, Rom. vii. 5. "Wherefore then

serveth the law? It was added because of transgression;" how long to continue in force?" till the seed should come to whom the promise was made," Gal. iii. 19, and no longer. For the law prophesied until John, Matt. vi. 13. "The law

and the prophets were until John; since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it." "But before faith came we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. Wherefore the law
