The Celestial Race: Or, the Saints compared to Runners.
1 Cor. 9.4. Know ye not, that they which run in a Race run all, but one receiveth the Prize: So run that ye may obtain. Heb. 12.1. Let us lay aside every Weight, and the Sin which doth so easily beset us; and let us run with Patience the Race that is set before us.
