The works of George Swinnock, M.A

The society of the Prophets is able to make even a Saul to prophesy; The Pleiades, which are the seven stars, joined in one constellation, (Canst ⟨p. 243⟩thou bind the sweet influences of the Pleiades? Job 38. 31.) help one another in their work, which is to bring on the Spring, the best season of the year; Christians in consort are an abridgement of Heaven, shining like a Firmament of bright Stars, not one malevolent aspect among them, and they all conspire together, to further a spring and new shoot of grace, the best of blessings in each others hearts. As Sincerity is the heart of Religion, so society is the breath of Religion, it helps to preserve it alive. The spiritual life of the Philippians, did upon their first quickening, appear by this, and twas also very helpful for their continuance and increase, Phil. 1. 5.
