1. The Spirit of God shall be gloriously poured out for the wonderful revival and propagation of religion. This great work shall be accomplished, not by the authority of princes, nor by the wisdom of learned men, but by God's Holy Spirit: Z•ch. iv.6.7. "Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith the ⟨p. 250⟩Lord of hosts. Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain, and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying Grace, grace unto it." So the prophet Ezekiel, speaking of this great work of God, says, chap. xxxix.29 "Neither will I hide my face any more from them; for I have poured out my Spirit on the house of Israel, saith the Lord God." W• know not where this pouring out of the Spirit shall begin, or whether in many places at once, or whether, what hath already been, be not some forerunner and beginning of it.
