the soul, and is the earnest of the Saint's inheri tance; and inspires the mind with the assurance of Hope beyond this life.

The destruction of Babylon is inevitable; for the wicked must be overthrown, which they are conscious of upon serious reflection, and in the hour of danger, being alarmed like poor Volney upon the Lake.

But the Righteous have nor in their death, arising from the assurance of FAITH in Christ Jesus.

From more than twenty years experience of the truth of the Revelation of Christ in the hear as the foundation and essence of all Religion, feel a satisfaction in resting my eternal all upon him; and by persevering in obedience to God to my life's end, depending on His Son as my Saviour, I believe he will receive me when I die, together with all the Israel of God, who persevere to the end, into that blissful state, where we shall unanimously join to sing the following lines.

this feeble

And let this feeble body fail,

And let it faint or die;

My soul shall quit this mournful vale,
And soar to worlds on high;
Shall join the disembodied Saints,
And find its long sought rest:
That only bliss for which it pants,
In the Redeemer's breast;-

In hopes of that immortal crown,
I now the Cross sustain;
And gladly wander up and down,
And smile at toil and pain;
I suffer on my three-score years,
Till my deliverer come,

And wipe away his servants tears,
And take his Exile home.

O what hath Jesus bought for me,
Before my ravish'd eyes,

Rivers of life divine, I see,

And trees of Paradise;

I see a world of Spirits bright,
Who taste the pleasures there;
They all are rob'd in spotless white,
And conquring palms they bear.
O what are all my suff'rings here,
If Lord thou count me meet,
With that enraptur'd Host t appear,
And worship at thy feet?'
Give joy grief, give ease or pain
Takee or friends away;
But let me dhem all again,
In that eternal day !

O ye professing people of God, Zion bleedsher walls are broken down; therefore bestir yourselves, and let not an hypocrite be found in the gate, But if you love Christ, put on Christ, and prove your love, by walking in the light, as He is in the light, and keeping His cominandments. Adorn your profession by your life and conversation, remembering how many it is to be feared have stumbled into ruin, over the misconduct of the professors, who have wounded the cause of Religion, more than the writings of the Deists. Get all the good you can, and do all the good to be souls and bodies of men within your power, for the Redeemer's sake, who will acknowledge the whole in the Day of Judgment.

But, O ye Rebels in heart, take warning-for time grows old, and the Judgments of God are abroad in the Earth; fly, escape for your life; attend to the LIGHT OF GRACE; seek sus, and take the high road to JERUSALEM, and tarry not in all the plain, that you may escape the final overthrow of Babylon and have Peace and Happiness' forever at JERUSA

THE END.
