gan, was here half a day, and the remain
ing services were held at No. Cambridge.
At this place he delivered an impressive
discourse from the text found in Rom. ID

was to shOw the naturalness in the human
heart to initiate. He forcibly illustrated
this by the stage, and the object of the
actors to reproduce the words or actions
of somebody else. Finally made a
striking application to individuals who
sought to initiate Christ, the more
forts approved. And just so in strict
obedience to the command of the ext.
were approved of God, and the extent in
which any were Christians, depends large
ly upon the close imitation of Christ. So
they daily reproducing in their lives the
spirit of Christ, were accepted Christians,
and II not, no matter how great their
pretention, were not Christians. Then to
sum it all up, with an earnest appeal that
all should put on the Lord Jesus Christ,
which would cleanse the heart from all
impurities, and eminently entitle them to
an inheritance incorruptible.
