Parental wishes and charges. Or, The enjoyment of a glorious Christ, proposed, as the great blessedness, which Christian parents desire, both for themselves, and for their children. In a discourse, now put into the hands of such parents, as would be assisted in their duty, by putting such things into the hands of their children. : [Two lines of quotation in Latin]

[…] There is a special Work of God, in the whole […] of a CHRIST, Exhibited unto the world. […] of what has been done, in the […] of a CHRIST it is all […] every Article thereof, […] ⟨p. 8⟩Dei. When we see a CHRIST, in the Exhibition which our Gospel makes o• Him, it must needs be with that Exclamation, What has God wrought! Upon the whole Dispensation of a CHRIST, we must fall down with Astonishment, and Cry out, Psal. 118. 23. This is the Lords Doing, it is marvellous in our Eyes! What was the Birth of our CHRIST? It was the Work of God; And He was Conceived, through' the Holy Spirit of God overshadowing His Virgin-Mother. What was the Death of our CHRIST? It was the Work of God. It Pleased the Lord to bruise Him in it, and He Groaned, suffer thy Terrors, O God. What was the Resurrection of our CHRIST? It was the Work of God; God Raised Him from the Dead; Yea, God Revived His work in the midst of the Years, when He Raised Him. The Judging of the world by our CHRIST, whose Work will this be? We read, God shall Judge the world by that Man. And if we have an Heart any of us to Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, as the Work of God, even this Faith also is the Work of God; We read, Col. 2. ⟨p. 9⟩12. Faith is of the Operation of God.
