LUKE xii. 35, 36, 37.

COLOSSIANS i. 15-19.

Who is the image of the invisible God, the first born of every creature: for by him were all things created that are in heaven, and that are in earth, vifible and invifible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him. And he is before all things, and by him all things confift. And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the first born from the dead; that in all things he might have the pre-eminence. For it pleafed the Father, that in him fhould all fulness dwell,

Preached in the High Church of Edinburgh, May 5, 1761, at the opening of the Synod of Lothian and Tweedale.

I THESSALONIANS, iii. 8.

For now we live, if ye ftand faft in the Lord.

THE author of this epiftle is introduced into the facred hiftory with other sentiments and views than these words exprefs. He makes his first appearance at a fcene of blood, confenting to the death of a holy martyr, and keeping the raiment of them that flew him. Soon after, we hear of him making havock of the Church of Chrift in Jerufalem, entering into every house, and dragging both men and women to prison. Nay fuch was the excefs and fury of his zeal, that, breathing out threatenings and flaughter against the difciples of the Lord, he perfecuted them even into ftrange cities: "I verily thought," faid he, in the presence of Agrippa, "that I ought to do many things "contrary to the name of Jefus of Nazareth.". But here we behold a new creature indeed! What things were formerly gain to Paul, thefe he counts lofs for Chrift: the once hated name of Jefus is now become dearer to him than life itfelf; and he who in times paft perfecuted the faints, now glories in the crofs, and preacheth the faith he hath endeavoured to deftroy.
