And as this wonderful Work may be considered as an Earnest of what God will do towards the Close of the Gospel Day, it affords great Encouragement to our Faith and Prayer in pleading those Promises which relate to the glorious Extent and Flourishing of the Kingdom of Christ upon Earth, and have not yet had their full and final Accomplishment. And surely the very threatening ⟨p. v⟩Degeneracy of our Times calls aloud to us all, to be earnest in Prayer for this most needed Blessing, the plentiful Effusion of the Spirit of Truth and Holiness Nor ought the Sense of our own Unworthiness discourage us when we go to our heavenly Father in the Name of his dear Son, who has purchased and received this great Gift for his People, and says to us, Luke 11 9—13. Ask and it shall be given you—If ye then, being Evil, know how to give good Gifts unto your Children, how much more shall your heavenly Father give the holy Spirit to them that ask him.
