It ought not to be forgotten, but for ever to be remembered, That your Lordship may not unfitly be called the Lords Passover. For when he took away by death your only son and heir, he passed over you, and instead of the Father ⟨image 3⟩took to himself the Grand-father. This remarkable Providence is alone sufficient to teach you to pass the time of your sojourning here in 1fear; and to purge out the old leaven of sin and iniquity, that you may be a new lump of sincerity and truth; and thereby have an undoubted interest 2in Christ your Passover, who was sacrificed for you.
