Where is the CHURCH, in which the Sabbath of the Lords-Day is more Carefully & Suitably Celebrated? The Sabbath, of which the Power of Godliness is kept or lost according to the Celebration? The Rest of GOD is Glorious in it, & will make it Glorious!
A CHURCH wherein the SOCIETIES formed for the Propagation of Religion, do fairly serve the cause of Pure & Undefiled Religion; and their Wisdom dwells with the Prudence, which finds out the Knowledge of Well-Advised Inventions to do the Best Good that can be done unto & among the Sons of Men; and such things are done, as may give a full Satisfaction unto those who send in their Bounties from all parts unto their Treasury, that their Money ⟨p. V⟩is not Misapplied, but that their Bountiful Oblations will be such Sacrifices as GOD, through' His CHRIST, will be Well-Pleased withal; and their Substance never better Bestowed, than in this way of Laying up good Bills of Exchange for the time to come. Their Missionaries have the right Spirit of the Gospel, and not of a party in them: and are the Angels that carry the pure Maxims of the Everlasting Gospel with them.
