CONTENTS
PRACTICAL OBSERVATIONS,
Drawn from the Exposition of the Texts, which are handled antl
improved in this Volume.
1. No divine truth ought, in its delivery, to be passed by, with-
out manifesting its use, and endeavouring its improvement unto
holiness and obedience,
2. In times of temptations and trials, arguments and exhortations
unto watchfulness against sin, and constancy in obedience, are to
be multiplied in number, and pressed with wisdom, earnestness
and diligence,
3. Exhortations unto duty ought to be built on stable founda-
tion, and to be resolved into an authority, which may influence
the consciences of them to whom they do belong,
-
4. What was given by inspiration from the Holy Ghost, and is re- corded in the Scripture for the use of the church, is spoken to the church in every age,
5. The formal reason of all our obedience, consists in its relation
to the voice or authority of God,

6. Every thing in the commands of God, relating unto the man-
ner of their giving out, and communicating unto us, is to be re-
tained in our minds, and considered as present unto us,
7. Consideration and choice are a stable and permanent foundation
of obedience,

8. Such is the nature, efficacy and power of the voice or word of
God, that men cannot withstand or resist it, without a sinful
hardening of themselves against it,
9. Many previous sins make way for the great sin, of finally re-
jecting the voice or word of God,

10. Old Testament examples, are New Testament instructions,
11. Especial seasons of grace and obedience, are in an especial
manner to be observed and improved,
