"Since my sitting down here amongst you in this meeting, the thoughts of it came into my mind, without the least study or premeditation. I could not be silent, thinking it to be my duty, in obedience to the divine will; for I desired not the sound of my voice to be heard, but would much rather hear than be heard; but apprehending it to be my duty, as that eminent apostle and servant of our Lord did, to whom a dispensation of the gospel was commited; who said, Woe be unto me if I preach not the gospel! I heartily wish, and it is the earnest desire of my mind, that those that are now concerned, may be solicitous; and O! that it may be the concern of every individual, that is here present, to invite this heavenly guest, that we all might be favoured with his heavenly presence, and made to partake of his divine comforts. If we were thus solicitous and engaged in our minds, we might have great reason to expect his gracious presence to be with us, as he our dear Lord hath promised, saying; Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there will I be, and bless them. Wheresoever two or three are gathered together in my name (that is, my power) there will I be in the midst of them, and I will bless them. What wonderful condescension is this to his children and people, to be so highly favoured with his heavenly prefence!" This is an edition of a classical book first published in the eighteenth century.
