But the EXHORTATION, shall at length come to us, in that Abridgement which Hosea, that long lived Minister has given us, not only by his own Sermons, for about fourscore Years together, but also of all the Sermons preached by all the Prophets that were sent unto the Ancient People of GOD. You thus have it, Hos. X. 12. Tis time to seek the Lord, until He come and Rain Righteousness upon you. Behold what now falls from the opened Bottles of Heaven upon you.

O you that have the Clouds of Heaven over you; Be assured of this; Your Great SAVIOUR will come with a Blessed Rain of Righteousness, upon them that Seasonably seek for such a Blessedness.
The Thing to be sought for, is; That we may, by the Faith of it, come to have the perfect and peerless Righteousness of what our SAVIOUR did in conformity to the Law which is the Rule of ⟨p. 117⟩Righteousness, as our Surety, may be imputed unto us for the Justification of Life: And then, that our SAVIOUR would Sanctify us, as well as Justify us, and lead us in the Paths of Righteousness.
