(1.) SPIRITUAL WORSHIP.

JOHN iv. 21-24.-"Jesus saith unto her,

Woman, believe me, the hour cometh,

when ye shall neither in this mountain,

nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Fa-

ther. Ye worship ye know not what:

we know what we worship: for salva-

tion is of the Jews. But the hour com-

eth, and now is, when the true worship-

pers shall worship the Father in spirit

and in truth: for the Father seeketh

such to worship him. God is a Spirit:

and they that worship him must wor-

ship him in spirit and in truth".

had our conversation in times past in

the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the de-

sires of the flesh and of the mind; and

in mercy, for his great love wherewith

he loved us, even when we were dead

in sins, hath quickened us together with

Christ (by grace ye are saved)"..

SERMON XXV.

Brighton, November 30, 1851.

(1.) THE PROGRESS OF REVELA-
TION.

1 PETER i. 10-13.-"Of which salvation

the prophets have inquired and searched

diligently, who prophesied of the grace

that should come unto you: searching

what, or what manner of time the Spirit

of Christ which was in them did signify,

when it testified beforehand the suffer-

ings of Christ, and the glory that should

follow. Unto whom it was revealed,

that not unto themselves, but unto us

they did minister the things, which are

now reported unto you by them that

have preached the Gospel unto you with

the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven;

which things the angels desire to look
into. Wherefore gird up the loins of

your mind, be sober, and hope to the
end for the grace that is to be brought

unto you at the revelation of Jesus

Christ'

(2.) THE PROGRESS OF REVELA-

TION.

EMPLIFIED IN THE DEATH OF

CHRIST.

JOHN xii. 23-28.-" Jesus answered them,

saying, The hour is come, that the Son

of man should be glorified. Verily,

verily, I say unto you, Except a corn

of wheat fall into the ground and die,

it abideth alone: but if it die, it bring-

eth forth much fruit. He that loveth

his life shall lose it; and he that hat-

eth his life in this world shall keep

it unto life eternal. If any man serve

me, let him follow me; and where I am,

there shall also my servant be: if any

man serve me, him will my Father

honor. Now is my soul troubled; and

schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ,

that we might be justified by faith". 176

(1.) CHARACTER AND MISSION OF

THE BAPTIST.

JOHN i. 22, 23.-"Then said they unto him,

Who art thou? that we may give an an-

swer to them that sent us. What sayest

thou of thyself? He said, I am the voice

of one crying in the wilderness, Make

straight the way of the Lord, as said

the prophet Esaias".

SERMON XXXI.

Brighton (date unknown).

RIGHTEOUSNESS.

MATT. XV. 3-9.-"But he answered and

said unto them, Why do ye also trans-

gress the commandment of God by your

tradition? For God commanded, say-

ing, Honor thy father and mother: and,

He that curseth father or mother, let him

die the death. But ye say, Whosoever

shall say to his father or his mother, It

is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest

be profited by me, and honor not his

father or his mother, he shall be free.

Thus have ye made the commandment

of God of none effect by your tradition.

Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophe v

of you, saying, This people draweth nigh

unto me with their mouth, and honore: h

me with their lips; but their heart is

far from me. But in vain they do wor-

ship me, teaching for doctrines the com-

mandments of men".
