or, whether you will not now Seek and Hope to find that Satisfaction in having a Glorious CHRIST Concerned for You, and Conversing with You, ⟨p. 37⟩which we expect in •ain from the Creatures, that forever are found to be no better than Lying, Vanities. If being thus Tried, you come forth as Gold, and approve yourselves Noble Sacrificers, it will be an infallible Token for Good, that you have a part in the Grand Sacrifice, which Your SAVIOUR has offered for His People, and shall have a Part among those, whom the Blood of the Lam• will bring to walk in White Robes and Serve Him in His Temple. MOST certainly, if the repeated Strokes of Mortality on Your Family, be of Use unto You▪ to bring Sin unto Remembrance, and carry on Repentance to its Perfect Work; to animate Your Prayers and Cares that You may be Entire and Perfect in Your Essays to Conform unto the whole Will of GOD; to Wean You from a World wherein You see an End of all Perfection; and make You Seek the Things, that are Above, and quicken Your Thorough Preparation for Your own Death, which the Death of such Relatives does loudly Admonish You to be daily looking for […] THESE Blessings will be a Rich and Full Compensation for the Loss of what has been taken from You. True PIETY will dispose You to count them so. Death in such a way brings the Truest Life with it; yea, What is Better than Life. And Light will arise unto You in the Darkness, which Death has brought upon Your Tabernacle. BUT, there is the less need of my expatiating unto You upon these Consolations of GOD, since You have an excellent Pastor, who has You under his continual Cultivations, and Loves Y•u exceedingly, ⟨p. 38⟩and has the Tongue of the Learned, able to Speak a Word in Season unto You; and from him You will continually hear those good Words, which, I hope, will make Your Hearts Glad, when they are Stooping with Heaviness. I am, Your Sympathizing Friend. Boston, July. 1. 1724.
