Moreover; The Lord hath not sent the light and power 1of the Gospel to any Nation under Heaven more fully; nay, without prejudice to any other we may say not so fully as to this Nation; though there are many of the Saints of God else where, yet in no place under Heaven hath God more, yea, so many Saints; (I might almost say, put all the Nations of the earth together) so many that know him so fully, and have that power of godliness ⟨p. 88⟩in the worshipping of him, as here in this Nation. Oh! the Bonds of Love that are upon us!
