by promise to reward his faith, and crown his hope;
his
children were inheriting it, from generation to generation,
until
they were driven out of it, for the lack of wisdom, and
rebellion.
O my soul! praise God for the Gift of Faith,
and obedience to live in His
Fear, so shalt thou possess
the Land of Light, Life, and Peace, which
Abraham's obe-
dience entitled him to forever, which was typified by
the
outward Canaan, that his seed did inherit, by the special
Promise of
Jehovah, who conversed with him from Hea-
ven. I am surrounded with angelic
spirits, who seem to
encourage me to be faithful a little longer, then
Abraham
the father of the faithful, will see one, who went out at
the
Command of God, not knowing whither she went, but as
the Spirit
directed her feet in righteousness, to seek the
lost sheep of the house of
Israel.
