My Friends, a sound of trouble is in our ears, the clouds gather and blacken upon us more and more: Distress of Nations with perplexity seems to be near, our day hastens to an end, and the shadows of the night are stretching forth upon us. What greater service therefore can I do for your souls, than by the light of this Scripture (as with a Candle in my hand) to lead you to your Chambers, and show you your Lodgings in the Attributes and promises of God, before I take my leave of you, and bid you good night.
