Excerpt from Sermons and Discourses on Several Important Subjects in Divinity So great was his delight in his Master's Work, and so earnest his desire to be found occupied therein, when he should be called hence, that he preached two or three Sabbaths from a. Window in the manse to the people sitting without, after that he was no longer able to go to the kirk. And as the two Sabbaths, or three at most, in which he was, by his growing indisposition, laid aside from his public work, were very heavy upon him; so his Master was pleased to call him home on the Saturday, May 20, 1732, to celebrate the eternal Sabbath in that place where the inhabitant shall not say any more, I am sick.

Excerpt from Sermons and Discourses on Several Subjects and Occasions, Vol. 2 That Virtue and Vice do in their own Na tures tend' to make thefe Men happy, or mi ferable, who feverally praetife them, is a Pro pofition of undoubted (and, I am fure, by me undi'fputed) Truth; as far as it relates to moral Virtue or Vice, properly fo call'd that is, to thefe Meafures of Duty, which Natural Reafon, unenlighten'd by Revelation, pre ffcribes: For as to thofe Rules of Evangelical Perfefiion, in which we Chrifiians are obliged to excel; they are (fome of them) of IO ex a] ted a Nature, fo contrary to Flefh and Blood, and fo far above our ordinary Capacities and Powers, lthat if there were no other Life than this, I fee not how our Happinefs could ge nerally' be faid to conflfi: in the Pradtice of them. -and therefore when God made them Matter of firiet Duty to us;.he at the fame 'time animated us to Obedience (not only by alluring us of the extraordinary Afliftances of his good Spirit, but) by a clear Difcovery of a Future State of Rewards and Punilhments; whereas the ffew's, whoahad the Promifes of this Life only, had alfo, in proportion to thofe Promifes, a lower and lefs excellent Scheme of Duty propos'd to them.

Excerpt from Discourses on Several Subjects, Vol. 2 But to form a true estimate of Abraham's faith and sub mission, it is necessary to take one circumstance more into the account - the tender scene which passed between the father and son, as they walked together to the place of sacrifice. Isaac, loaded with the wood, seeing the knife and fire in his father's hands, said, Behold, my father, the fire and the wood; but where is the lamb for a burnt-o 'ering P God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt-offering, replied the heart-rent father. So much has Moses recorded - The scene he has not described. Feel it every parent must; but what imagination can do justice to the emotions of nature, the agonies of piety, the rendings of affection, which tore the heart of Abra ham whtle he informed his son, that he himsel was the lamb which God had provided for a burnt-offering? We may figure the scene to ourselves, but it cannot be de scribed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Lectures in Divinity, Vol. 2 With this impression of the importance Of the subject, I proceed to analyse the Opinions concerning the Person of Christ. I do not propose to follow the order Of time, because there is some difficulty in ascertaining the dates of particular opinions, because the order in which they arose is not always very material, and because the frequent revival'of 'old opinions in new systems would render a chronology of them full of repetitions. Neither do I propose to fatigue your attention with the useless uninteresting detail of all the extravagant conceits broached by particular men, or of the minute shades of difference among those who agreed in their general system. I Shall furnish you with the information that is'of - real importance, by bringing forward the three great systems upon this subject. Their features are strong ly marked and clearly discriminated, and they ap pear to comprehend all the variety Of which the subject admits, because the several opinions which have at some times been exploded and at other times revived, are always reducible to one or other Of these three systems.

Excerpt from A Series of Discourses, on Fundamental Religious Subjects: Including a Preliminary Discourse on the Divine Revelation of the Holy Scriptures I could not hope to acquire fame, in a walk of literature so far from being popular, as that of religious Discourses, even though I could have been vain enough to imagine that I was competent to secure a place in the first rank of those who have published in the same line. How much less, when I knew that I could not sustain a respectable competition with writers of. That class As little could I hope to derive pecuniary profit from such a publication; What motive, then, could have prompted me to the toil and hazard of such an enterprise? I humbly submit that there was still one very effi cient motive which might have actuated me in the matter - a desire to advance the interests of the highest order of truth. If I shall have failed in this, I feel that my failure will have been absolute. If, on the other hand, I shall, though but to a limited extent, have succeeded in advancing the interests of this truth, I shall consider myself amply compensated; though eneither fame nor pecuniary advantage shall have been promoted by the Operation. For the advancement of those interests ever tends to promote the glory of God' and the salvation and eternal happiness of mankind. Could I be assured of success in this particular, I should be abundantly satisfied, let the fate of my Discourses be, in other respects, what it might.
