Christs temptation and transfiguration practically explained and improved in several sermons /

2. To us Christians. Our Religion is true, Oh let us be true in the profession of it; otherwise it will little help us in the day of our Accounts, 2 Thes. 1. 8. Taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. You stand upon the Vantage-ground, but are not Taller in Stature than Heathens and Jews. Disciples in Name, not in Deed; Joh. 8. 31. If ye continue in my words, then are ye my disciples indeed: Christians of Letter, not of the Spirit. Oh Reverence Christ, if Moses and Elijah did him Homage. When we have found Truth let us look after Life; and having owned the true Religion express the Power of it.
