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]

Where does the MERCY of God appear in the Glory of it? Let the Redeemed of the Lord say, His Mercy endureth forever: It is Demonstrated in their being •o. What but a Glorious Mercy, would Pity and Rescue, such perishing, such unworthy, such miserable Out-casts […] What, but a Glorious Mercy could relieve miserable Sinners, and remove our horrible Guilt, heal our Ignorance, cleanse our Filthiness, and release us from our Slavery? Tis done by our Lord JESUS CHRIST, submitting to be Miserable for us. O Give Thanks; The Lord has Remembered us in our low Estate, because His Mercy endures for ever. Mercy is to do all that is to be done for a Sinner. What is that Mercy that has broke forth in a CHRIST given to sinful Men, who deserve ⟨p. 16⟩not a Redeemer, but a Destroyer, Destruction to the uttermost!

Would we see the TRUTH of God in the Glory of it? We may see it in the punctual Accomplishment, which the Promises of God, have had in ou• Lord JESUS CHRIST. Oh! Glorious Truth Not one good thing has failed, of all that was foretold by thee, concerning the coming of Him that was to break the Serpents Head. When was see the CHRIST of God, we see most gloriously fulfilled, the Word of God. He is, The Word. In him God fulfils his Word. Every thing has fallen out just according to the word. Look upon a JESUS, and upon all that the Lord spake unto the Fathers, about a Saviour for us; and then Cry out; O Glorious Lord God of Truth; Great, great is thy Faithfulness!
