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.

Will the Thought of what you shall Enjoy in and from the Enjoyment of a Glorious CHRIST make no Impression upon My Children; We wish you all the Blessings that can be imagined; more Blessings than you can ask or think. Oh! If we could see you brought unto the Enjoyment of a Glorious CHRIST, we should see you invested with all such Blessings; the sight would make us Rejoice with Joy unspeakable and full of Glory. It was of old said, Phil 4. 19. My God shall supply all your Need, according to His Riches in Glory, by CHRIST JESUS. Oh! What a Rich supply of Glorious Things, would a CHRIST JESUS heap upon you! We wish, that to Evil may happen to you in this world; That whatever looks like Evil in any of your Circumstances, may really work for Good; That you may want Nothing that shall be for your Good. Oh! •f our Glorious CHRIST were yours, •t would be so! We wish, that in the world to come, you may have a part in that Rest which remains for the People of ⟨p. 40⟩God; That you may get safe into the City of God, and find Mansions in the Heavenly Places of that City provided for you; That you may be brought nigh• to God, and have God become all in all unto you, and be filled with all the Fullness of God. Oh! If our Glorious CHRIST were yours, it would be so!
