That you will have His Holy SPIRIT Powerfully and Marvellously Breathing in your Ministry. An Eminent Scotch Divine, hearing a Young Minister Preach an Elaborate Sermon; when he Commended the Sermon, yet Complained of it; I wanted one Thing; I wanted the SPIRIT of GOD, that was not so sensible and apparent in it. You will take an Excellent way, [Behold, I show unto you an Excellent way!] to escape this Complaint upon your Services. The SPIRIT of Truth will Glorify me, Saith our SAVIOUR. That Holy SPIRIT will sadly withdraw from the Ministry that has not a CHRIST animating of it. No doubt, This may be the very cause, why an Unsuccessful Ministry is become so generally a matter of Observation and of Lamentation. And now, My Children, what shall I say more unto you? I hope, that as to many of you, [Oh! That it might be All of you!] I shall meet you with Joy, at the Right Hand of CHRIST, in the Great Day of His Appearing and His Kingdom, when both you and I shall Rejoice, that ever He brought and placed me among you. But, if any of you, who are the Students in the College, prove so Miserable, as to Die in your Sins, and in a Christless Condition, I earnestly Protest unto you this Day, that I shall Testify against ⟨p. 179⟩you before the Lord JESUS CHRIST in That Day, that I have called upon you both Publicly and Privately, to make sure of an Interest in Him. I am now Pure from the Blood of your Souls; If any of you (which Mercy Prevent!) shall Die in your Sins, your Blood will be upon your own Unhappy Heads. I have done the part of a Faithful Father to you!.
