MARRIAGE. Marriage was N the world be-
fore sin, aud is in all ages Of tho world tho great
est and most effective antidote against Sin. Here
is the proper scene Of pcty and patience, Of the
duty of parents and the charity of relatives h re
kindness is spread abroad, and love 10 united
and made firm as centre. Marriage Is the
nursery Of Heaven; tho virgin sends prayers to
God, but she carries but one soul TO him; but
the state of marriage fills up the numbers Of tho
elect, and hath in il the labor OF love and the
delicaoios of friendship the blessing Of society
and tho union of hands and hearts; II hath in II
less Of beauty aud more of safety, than tho sin
gle life; il hath more care. but less danger; is
more merry aud more sad; il is fuller ot sorrows,
aud fuller of joys; il lies under more burdens,
but is supported by all the strength of love and
charity, and those burdens drgh'ful. Mar

MERcy-"It was mercy that preserved tho
noblest of Gods creatures here below; he who
stood condemned and updone under all the other
attributes of Godwns only saved and rescued by
his mercy; that il may bo evident that Gods
mercy is above all his works, aud above all ours
greater than tho creation. and greater than our
sins: AS il his majesty, 40 is his mercy, that
IL, without measures and without rules. sitting
in heaven and filling the whole world. calling for
a duty that he may giue a blessing; making man
that he may savo him; Furnishing him that he
may preserve him. And Gods justice bowed
down 10 his mercy, and all his power passed into
mercy, and his omnisoience cony erteh into care
and watohfulnoss, into providence and observa-
tion for mans avail; and heaven gave its inHu-
ence for man. and raned showers for our food
and drink, and tho attributes and acts of God sat
at the foot of mercy, and all that mercy descend
cd upon the head Of man. For 50 the light OF tho
world in the morning of the creation was spread
abroad like curtain and dwelt nowhere but
filed tho erpdnsum with dissemination great

the wider fringes of tho fire. without knots. or
order, or combination; but God gathered the
benms in his hand. and united them in IA globe
of fire, and all the light of the world became the
body of the sun, and no lent some To his weaker
sister TINT walks in the night aud guides trav-
eer, and teaches him To distinguish house from
n river, rock from pain field. So is the mercy
of God vast erun,um aud huge ocean; from
eternal nges it dweit round about the throne
of God, and it filled all that infinite distance and
space that hath no measures but the Will OF GOD;
until God desiring to communicate that excellen-
cy and make it relative, created angels. that e
might have persons capable o huge gifts; and
man, pho he knew rouid need Jorgipeness.-
Though angels objects of Gods bounty. yet
man only is, in proper speaking the object OF his
mercy; and the mercy which dwelt in an infinite
circle. became confined to little ring, and dwell
here shal dwellbeow till it hath carried all Gods
portion up TO heaven. where 1t shall reign in glo'
ry on our crowned heads forever and rver Let
us take heed; for mercy is like a rainbow, which
God set in the clouds to remember mankind; it
shines here as hong as it is not hindered; bat wa
must never look for it after it is night. and it
shines not in the other world. five refuse mer-
cy here, shall have justice To eternity"
