[11]A Gentleman who happened to attend two or three times at Church’s Meeting-house, took down the following sentences from his Sermons. They may gratify the curiosity of the reader.
“God is frequently going forth, and we also are often going to the window to look for him; The more vileI ammade to appear to theWorld, the more God willassistme. Every citizen is a free-born. Many have wondered how I could go thro’ so much trouble. There have been a great many that have wished to see me—I can inform them I had much rather they had wished to see Christ. People may be laughed at for being fools, but you may depend upon it the more God will like them. All that believe not will certainly be damned. The duties of Christianity are not to be preached to an ungodly world; John Church is very much spoken of, but they had much better speak of Jesus; the people of the established church feel no spiritual joy. Spiritual discourse is enlivening to the senses, &c. The bread of life is not to be given away toDogs. I am not going to turn auctioneer, but I am going to inform you that next Lord’s Day I am going to publish a book proving that God, the Son, and the Spirit, are all one great God. My sermon will be good news and comfort to all poor sinners; Satan and all his spirits never sleeps; the power of life and death is only in the bands of our Lord Jesus Christ. Devils are allowed to harrass the people of God day and night—no wonder they perplex those they cant destroy. People are mostly liable to fall in their first love into awful heresies and temptation. All the Lord’s people do not see into the glory of my text—’tis like a jewel in a rock of Adamant. The worst sin was the murdering of God’s saints. When I sit in darkness the Lord will be a light onto me. Many men laugh at the doctrine of the new birth—are there not many learned Doctors that know nothing of it? Let a man come under any circumstances, I will receive him—Don’t laugh at the doctrine of inspiration; be wise, it has often been preached by our church—I am never tired of preaching; and I believe my dear brethren are never tired of hearing me. If every one that is saved should be as bright as the sun, what a place Heaven must be, where there will be so many millions! Angels beckon me away, and Christ bids me come. The sight of Christ, you may depend on’t, will be worth suffering for. O that I had the voice of an archangel, I would indeed do wonders. I doubt the inferiority of one angel over another in Heaven—Christ is entirely independent of or with God. We must have the spirit of God before we are his people. Believe in the predestination of eternal life, but not in eternal death; people that suffer were beforehand predestined so to do,byGod. Bad or horrid is the religion of a proud Pharisee. That religion that is preached by the people of God is God himself. There can be no going forth until the spirit of God has entered. Themobis seldom stirred up but thro’ Priests; there is now a case of the very kind. When envy bursts forth thro’ jealous and envious neighbouringPriests, and published byDeists, there can be nothing to fear; and I verily believe, that any thing prayed for to Christ will certainly be granted, as has always been the case with me. Let us for ever endeavour to turn every thing, whether good or bad, into good. I do not believe that God begot Jesus Christ—they say too that Joseph was an impostor at this very day:—every thing that is done against the church is done against Christ; also that which is done against Christ is done against the Church; and any thing done against the people of God is done against Christ. It is a most blessed thing that we can throw our burthens upon Christ;—I do not care who hears me, whether God, or Man, Friends or Foes, Devils or Angels, or any thing else; and let them call me an Antinomian again if they please. There must be spiritual life in the soul. The Lord Jesus Christ and the people of God are one. Christ has no sorrow but the people of God must sympathise with him; and the people of God have no affliction but that Christ sympathises with them.”
