The difference between the greatest and the
meapesi of mankind seemed 10 vanish when
compared with the boundless interval which Sc
parated the whole race from him, on whom theiE
own ewes were constantly fixed. They reoog.
nized no title to superiority but his favor; and
confident of that favor, they despised all the
accomplishments, and all the dignities OF the
world. Ifthey were unacquainted with the works
of philosophers and poets, they were deeply
read in the oracles of God. Iftheir names were
NOT found in the registers of heralds, they felt
that they were registered in the Book OF
me. If their steps were not accompanied oy
snlendid train of menials, legions administering
angels had charge over them. Their palaces
were houses not made with hands; their diadems
crowns of glory which should never fade away.
On the rich and the eloquent, On MOBILES anu
priests, they looked down with contempt lot
they esteemed themselves rich in more pre-
cious treasure, and eloquent in more sublime
language, mobiles by the light OF an earlier crea'
ton, and priests by the imposition OF mlshtler
hand. The very meanest OF them was being
to whose faith mysterious and terrible impor-
lance belonged, on whose slightest action the
shirts of light & darkness looked with ANXIOUS
interest. who had been destined before heaven
and earth were created, to enjoy felicity which
should continue when heaven and earth had
passed awav. Events which short sighted poll
ticians ascribed TO earthly causes had been or
dained on his account. For his sake empires
had risen and fourished, and decayed, Tor his
sake the Almighty had proclaimed his Will by
the pen Of the Evangelist, and the harp OF the
prophet. He had been wrestled by no common
deliyerer, from no common foe.--He had been
ransomed by the sweat of no vulgar agony, by
the blood Of no vulgar sacrifice. Ii was Tor him
that the sun had been darkened, that the rocks
had been rent, tina, the dead had arisen.
Thus the Puritan was made up Of two differ
ent men; the one all establishment, penitence,
gratitude, passion; the other proud, calm lntiex-
ible, sagacious. He Frustrated himself IN the
dust before his Maker; but he set his foot on the
neck Of his king.-Edin. Rcv.
