He was bred up among aliens and strangers to grace, The Knowledge of the Lord covereth our Island as the waters cover the Sea: He was, ye were not, the unclean Children of unbeleeving Parents; He could not say Thou hast loosed my bands, for I am the Son of thy hand-maid; but Ye were by praier and by baptisme consecrated to your God in your infancie; and were from your infancie nurtured up in good knowledge. 2. He was (like S. Paul ) in journeyings often; Abiding citie he had none; but was ever unsetled: As for you, ye in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places have retirednesse and leisure to devote your selves to praier, meditation &c. 3. Eight or nine times did Jehovah converse with Him, with you he converseth eightie times nine times. Twice or thrice was the Gospel preached unto Him (and that too) very darkly; To you it shineth as clearely, and, in a sort, as frequently, as day-light. What a small pittance of saving knowledge could he glean from the traditions of his fore-fathers in comparison of what may be learned by you; |
