What then shall I do? shall I burn the brimstone of hell at his nostrils? or shall I open the box of Spikenard, very precious, that filleth the whole house of this universe with its perfume, Mark 14. 3. Joh. 12. 8. and hope that the savour of Christs ointments, and the smell of his garments will attract him? Psal. 45. 8. Alas! dead •inners are like the dumb idols, they have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not; they have ears, but they hear not; noses have they, but they smell not; they have hands, but they handle not; feet have they, but they walk not, neither speak they through their throat. Psal. 1. 5, 6, 7. They are destitute of all spiritual sense and motion.
