Ah, Poor FENWICK, Wilt thou not magnify the Grace of GOD thy SAVIOUR! Of old, a City of Refuge in the Holy Land, would not receive and protect a Murderer. But in a Glorious CHRIST there is a City of Refuge that stands open for thee. A Penitent Murderer may find a Refuge there. Oh! Fly for a Refuge unto the Hope set before thee.

Marvellous has been the Favour of GOD, in stirring up the Hearts of His Ministers, to labour so Compassionately as they have done for thy Salvation. But all their Compassion is but a small, faint, cold Image of what thou shalt find in the Heart of their Master, and thy SAVIOUR.
Marvellous the Grace of our GOD, in making thee a Tender of that Blood which Cleanses from all Sin, and speaks better Things than the Blood of thy slain Brother, which cries from the Ground against thee.
