thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works. Isa. i, 27. Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness. Isa. xlv, 24, 25. Surely, shall one say, In the LORD have I righteousness and strength: even to him shall men come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed. In the LORD shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory. Isa. xlvi, 12, 13. Hearken unto me, ye stout-hearted, that are far from righteousness: I bring near my righteousness; it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not tarry: and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel my glory. loss for Christ. Yea doubtless, the Spirit, are ye now made per- Rev. ill, 18.

But wilt thou without works is dead? FAITH OF MIRACLES. Matt xiii, 58. And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief. and said unto them, Verily I say Matt. xxi, 21. Jesus answered unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, Rev. xix, 8. And to her was but also if ye shall say to this Rom. ili, 21, 22, 27, 28. But now granted that she should be array-mountain, Be thou removed, and the righteousness of God without ed in fine linen, clean and white: be thou cast into the sea; it shall the law is manifested, being wit-for the fine linen is the righteous- be done. nessed by the law and the pro- ness of saints. phets; Even the righteousness of God, which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe; for there is no difference: Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay; but by the law of faith. Therefore we conclude, that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. Rom. iv, 5, 6, 13. But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteous ness. Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works. For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith. Rom. iii, 31. Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law. Rom. iv, 14-17. For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect. Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression. Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed: not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all, (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. Rom. viii, 4. That the rightRom. vi, 14, 15. For sin shall eousness of the law might be ful-not have dominion over you: for ye filled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Rom. x, 4-8. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them. But the ighteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above;) Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart; that is, the word of faith which we preach. Phil. iii, 7-9. But what things were gain to me, those I counted are not under the law, but under thing to the charge of God's elect? 2 Cor. iv, 13. We having the tians, who hath bewitched you, 604 Mark ix, 23, 24. Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all believeth. And straightway the things are possible to him that father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief. Mark xi, 23. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea, and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass: he shall have whatsoever he saith. Luke vil, 50. And be said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace. her, Daughter, be of good comLuke viii, 48. And he said unto fort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace. said, If ye had faith as a grain of Luke xvil, 6, 19. And the Lord mustard-seed, ye might say unto this sycamine-tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou obey you. And he said unto him, planted in the sea; and it should Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole. John xi, 40. Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God? Rom. iv, 18-21. Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which And being not weak in faith, he was spoken, So shall thy seed be. considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundeadness of Sarah's womb: He dred years old, neither yet the staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; And being fully persuaded that what he had promised he was able also to perform. Gal. iii, 5. He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? Heb. xi, 29. By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land; which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned. THE FIRST AND SECOND ADAM. Rom. v, 15-21. But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead; much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, has abounded unto many. And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation: but the free gift is of many of fences unto justification. For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace, and of the gift of righteousness, shall reign in life, by one, Jesus Christ. Therefore, as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so bythe righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justincation of lile. For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners; so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. Moreover, the law entered, that the offence might abound: but where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so, might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord. JUSTIFICATION NOT OF WORKS, BUT LEADING TO GOOD WORKS. Deut. vi, 25. And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before the LORD our God, as he hath commanded us. Ps. xv, 1-4. Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill? He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart. He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour. In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that tear the LORD: he that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not. Ezek. xx, 11. And I gave them my statutes, und showed them my judgments, which if a man do, he shall even live in them. Amos v, 14, 15. Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live, and so the LORD, the God of Hosts, shall Hate the evil, and love the good, be with you, as ye have spoken. and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the LORD God of Hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph. Mic. vi, 8. He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good: and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God? .Luke viii, 21. And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it. Luke x, 25-29. And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? He said unto him, What is written in the law? How readest thou? And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself. And he said upto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live. But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour? John viii, 51. Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death. John xiii, 17. If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them. if ye do whatsoever I command John xv, 14. Ye are my friends, you. Rom. ii, 13. For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. Rom. x, 5. For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them. Gal. vi, 4, 5. But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. every man shall bear his own burden. For Col, i, 10. That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God. 1 Thess. ii, 12. That yo would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory. Matth. xxvi, 10. When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good worl upon me. YET NO MERIT IN MAN. profitable unto God, as he that if Job xxii, 2-4. Can a man be wise may be profitable unto him self? Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art righteous! or is it gain to him, that thot makest thy ways perfect? Will he reprove thee for fear of theet will he enter with thee into judg ment? Job xxxv, 5--8. Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds, which are higher than thou. If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him? If thou be righteous, what givest thou himi or what receiveth he of thine hand? Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art, and thy righteousness may profit the son of man. Ps. xvi, 2, 3. O my soul, thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee; But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight. Ezek. xx, 44. And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I bave wrought with you for my name's sake, not according to your wicked ways, nor according to your corrupt doings, O ye house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD. Luke xvii, 10. So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do. Eccles. vii, 16-18. Be not righteous over-much; neither make thyself over-wise: why shouldest thou destroy thyself? Be not over-much wicked, neither be thou foolish: why shouldest thou die before thy time? It is good that thou shouldest take hold of this; yea, also from this withdraw not thine hand: for he that feareth God shall come forth of them all. BLESSINGS OF PENITENCE. Deut. xxx, 1-5. And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and thee, and thou shalt call them to the curse, which I have set beforo mind among all the nations whither the LORD thy God hath driven thee, And shalt return unto the LORD thy God, and shalt obey his voice, according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul; That then the LORD thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath scattered thee. If any of thine be driven out unto the outmost parts of heaven, from thence will the LORD thy God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee. And the LORD thy God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers. Ps. xxxiv, 18.

What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. Likewise also, was not Raliab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them but another way? For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. Rev. xxii, 14. Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. PENITENCE OFTEN MARKED. Ps. cix, 22.

Now I rejoice, hot that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing.
