The Means of Grace compared to the Summer.
Jer. 8.20. — The Summer is ended, &c.
By Summer is doubtless meant that Time that God allows Men to gather in, and lay up spiritual Good for their precious Souls. The Time of Gospel-Light, or Means of Grace, is compared to the Summer.
Parallels.
The Summer is the chief Time of the Year, that Season which generally all Men prize, long for, and rejoice in: So the Time of Gospel-Grace, and Gospel-Light, is the chiefest and choicest Season in the World. The Time of the Gospel, the Dispensation of the Gospel, was the Time which the Prophets, and many good and righteous Men of old longed for, and which all sincere godly Persons do prize, and rejoice in.
