have spent my last breath testifying of His Dying Love
to all people, created by His Inimitable Widom, who
formed all flesh for His own pleasure, and man for His
special Glory, so that it is no wonder that He should lay
down His own Life to influence them to serve, love, and
adore Him, as their Lord and God forever, having not on-
ly Power to take up His own Life again on the third day,
according to the prophecy, or sign of Jonah the prophet,
but also is the Resurrection, or Life, of all who are in the
tomb, waiting for His Voice to call them forth, when the
Mystery of Righteousness is fulfilled, and the Kingdom
of our Lord Jesus Christ completed, so that there requireth
no longer an High Priest to atone for sin: but He shall
be adored as God over all, by the seed whom He has re-
deemed through the Spilling of His Most Precious Blood,
an eternal sign to them of His Merit and Soverign Love,
which undertook the cause of all, to reinstate them
in paradisiacal happiness, which was lost when satan beguil-
ed our first parents, when the milk of human kindness
flowed from each heart, to one another; and innocence
was sealed on their forehead, as a mark of divine favour,
which they lost the moment they both transgressed, and
found they were naked, having bereaved themselves of
inherent Righteousness, that might be compared to Life
Eternal, which is found only in Jesus Christ, the Second
Adam, whose Life is diffused into every true believer on
His Name, who calls Himself the Resurrection and Life.

Yesterday Peggy Young, daughter of Calvin and Eve
Young
, rode with me nine miles further to the West, to
have a meeting with a Presbyterian congregation. As
we were going the horse stopped al on a sudden, and
would not go one step, but as I expected we both should
be thrown out, as we ere on the midst of a hill, which
scared my dear companion so much that I was obliged to
force her to jump out of the chaise, to prevent her fainting
away, which she did, as she reached her father’s residence,
running thither for some one to make the horse move.
