A supplement to The Morning-exercise at Cripple-Gate, or, Several more cases of conscience practically…

Thus David, that man after God's own heart, Psal. 34.11. Come ye ⟨p. 211⟩children, hearken unto me, I will teach you the fear of the Lord. But more especially, I would commend to your most accurate view that lovely Prospect presented to us in Prov. 4.3, 4. Behold there a great and glorious King, descending from his Imperial Throne, laying aside his Golden Crown and Royal Sceptre, and sitting down on a lower seat with a Child, a Solomon at his knee. So that the King is now humbled into a Tutor, the Prince into a Pupil. A brief account of the Lecture the Text gives us: I was my Father's Son; i. e. I was so my Father's Son, as that I was also his Jedidiah; so beloved, as if I had been his only Son. He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words, keep my Commandments and live.
