Casuistical morning-exercises the fourth volume /

I am desired this Morning to speak of Christ as our Example: and to show how Christians are to follow him. This is a Theme that commends it self to you; by its excellency; usefulness; and seasonableness, in such an Age; wherein there is such a sinful, sad, and almost universal degenerating from true and real Christianity. Glorious Head! hadst thou ever on earth a Body more unlike thee than at this day. How few manifestly declare themselves the Epistles of Christ written by the Spirit of the living God! Few Professors have his Image, who yet bear his superscription.
