true readings of the sacred books, seem to have preserved this prophecy free from material interpolation. Eighthly ;-Our Lord concludes the book, as he had begun it, with this interesting declaration ;“Surely I come soon." To every mortal, short is the time leading to that awful instant, when he “ shall stand before the presence “ of God!” Be it our endeavour, by the assistance of his Holy Spirit, so to direct our thoughts and actions, that we may have confidence in our Redeemer, and be of the number of those who “ love his appearing * !” Thus may we be enabled cordially to unite with the beloved Apostle, in his concluding prayer; “ Amen; “so be it ; come, Lord Jesus !” * 2 Tim. iv. 8.
