he is, can poffibly know as he knows. Which Obfer- 1735. vation is not of the leaft Importance to us: For if it therefore, follows, that no Man knows the Things of God but by the Spirit of God, 1 Cor. ii. 11. then can no Man without the Revelation of the fame Spirit, know the Mystery of the Divine Power, by which he was created, and by which he must be eternally faved and bleffed. Grace therefore (or the Divine Spirit by its Influence and Infpiration) must be received and obeyed as an infallible Oracle, if we would know and pursue those Things which tend to our prefent and future Happiness; as alfo the Authority of the Holy Scriptures fubmitted to, as having proceeded from the fame Grace, of which they faithfully teftify, and of that which is neceffary to be by us believed and practifed.

The Excellency and Neceffity of which divine Record to Himfelf, Man certainly must acknowledge, when he confiders, that That alone has given him an Account of his own Orign (which, what Man could have known?) And that he ftill may the better underftand himself, of his Lapfe and Corruption from that Excellency and Glory of his Nature (in which he was created) by departing from the Truth, into a Fable and Notion of Independency of Nature, and Sufficiency of Wisdom without God. So that he is become as the Beafts which perish, as to the Neceffity of Diffolution to his mortal Part; and in his greatest natural Honour, may, in that Refpect, be compared to them; which is fufficient to humble him under the Senfe of his weak elementary State, with all the Glory and Advantages that may attend it.

But if Man will not be convinced of the Imperfection and Vanity of this Nature, by the Infirmities and Miferies to which it is continually fubject; nor of the Glory of the Eternal Majefty, by the infinite Wonders thereof, throughout the Univerfe; rejecting the Teftimony of his own Senfes, of every created Thing,

and

1735. and of the Scriptures of Truth; nor yet behold his Glory in the Appearance of the Saviour, which he reveals in every Confcience; then must his Blindness be concluded incurable, and his Destruction unavoidable.
