The First SERMON ON The Nature of God.
THE last day, you may remember, we opened that Point of the condition that men are in that live without a God in the world; It is evil to be without bread, without friends, without outward comforts; how great an evil then to be without a God in the world? and who they were that did live without a God in the world, that knew him not, that had no interest in him, and the like; and then was promised, Therefore seeing there are so many poor wretched creatures, so many Families that live without a God in the world, that know nothing of him, and live as if they expected nothing from him, and fear no evil to come from him at all; therefore we promised to labour to set forth before you somewhat of God that might help you to know him, to show you what he is: And to that end turn to that Scripture, Psal. 148. part of the 13. verse.
