Gift Of the Spirit.

We have great reason to adore the MS
dom and goodness Of God 10 the dispensa-
tion Of the gospel, that by the sending down
of His Holy Spirit to endow the first pub.
fishers Of this heavenly doctrine with such
miraculous powers and gifts, lie hath given
such abundant testimony to the truth of our
religion, and such plain grounds for our
faith to rely upon. Had God left the
Christian religion to have been propagated
only by its own rational force upon the
minds Of men, what slow progress would it
in all probability have made. So st. Paul
intimates that had not the mighty power Of
God accompanied their preaching, aud made
it effectual to the conversion and salvation
Of men, they would have been tempted to
have been ashamed Of the Gospel Of Christ.
Thus by the belief Of the gospel men should
live in the obedience Of faith and conform
ably to the precepts Of that holy religion
which the Son of God, by SO many miracles,
hath planted and preserved in tie world
