A present from a far country, to the people of New England. I. A great voice from heaven, to these parts of the earth: in an excellent letter full of divine rarities, lately written from a terrible prison in France; / by a pious confessor of the reformed religion, once an inhabitant of this country. ; (With some late remarkables, of the persecution, upon the reformed in that kingdom.) II. The golden bells of the great high priest, heard from heaven, through the land. Or, Meditations, upon the methods of grace, wherein a few faithful persons may be the happy instruments of delivering a land, from all its iniquities & calamities.A present from a farr countrey, to the people of New England.

What is the Sacrifice provided by God for His People, Collected and Considered in a whole Congregation; and how may a Congregation obtain the Benefit of that Sacrifice?
Methinks, one may see a peculiar circumstance in our New-English Congregation, to Invite our most affectionate and Importunate Application unto such a Sacrifice! The Sin Offering for the Congregation, was to be, Burnt without the Camp: With regard whereto, the Apostle said, in Heb. 13. 13. Let us go forth unto Jesus without ⟨p. 24⟩the Camp, bearing His Reproach. Sirs, The First Planters of New England were driven forth without the Camp; we arrive to this Plantation, Bearing the Reproach of our zeal for our JESUS, in all His Offices. What shall we now do without the Camp? What, but Fly to the Sin Offering for the Congregation, which without the Camp we are Entertained withal?
