at death, when he needed it most ! How much did he himself notice this? May we not appeal to dying faints, in the words of Joshua to Ifrael, if any one thing hath failed of all the good things the Lord had promised to them? As for God, his way is perfect, the word of Lordis tried; he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.

And to conclude, may we not fay, There is a reward for the righteous: verily there is a God that judgeth in the earth? How can we doubt of this, fince the faints fee the falvation of God, they feel and tafte this in their life, and at death have a very heaven antidated in their fouls? What clusters of the fruits of the promised land from Efhcol, what fweet earnefts and pledges, what infallible fore runners of heaven have they, both as to their excercise and enjoyment day and night, for fome time in their life, and especially in ther laft trial, when near to eternity? Of which our dear friend, as you will fee from his dying words, had fo fweet experience.
