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]

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!

The SOVEREIGNTY of God, His most Sovereign Grace: where shall we see the Glory of it appearing? It appears most Gloriously, when we see Fallen Angels irrecoverably Damned, but Fallen Men recovered unto good Terms with Heaven. It appears most Gloriously, when ⟨p. 17⟩we see among Men, some Appointed to obtain Salvation by Jesus Christ, others of ••d Ordained unto Condemnation. In our CHRIST, we see those things done, for which the Highest Reason, is, The Good Pleasure of the most High God. Oh! Sovereign and Glorious Grace, that so loved the world, as to bestow a CHRIST upon the Chief of Sinners in the world!
