Rite stn;rriage spoken of not havint; taken place, and pub-
lished a long time before the eihllii should i't' hunt ; and seeng. the
harvest nearly ended, they appkar re,nly to sink in the :,Teat deep—

where k the pr; mise or either the Alaria;:e of the Child ? soon
be the cry of the public ; and the believers themselves will be
ready to sity—' the harvest is 0%1 ; day is ended ; and we are
not saved.' From this I see clearly that my enein', would soon
boast and triumph, while the Believurs w ould he rea,ly to sinii in
despair, it the way they are din it:waived without 14 *nig
