respect to every individual, a certain point and a fixed period, beyond which, the aid of the Holy Spirit will not be extended, must not every one of you tremble, lest after long professing that you knew God, but in works denying him, you should be abandoned to your own sinful lusts and the power of Satan, "being" utterly "abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate "?* If then, my brethren, you will weigh these truths and these considerations as they deserve to be weighed, I think it will manifestly appear in the case of every individual man amongst you, to whichsoever of the two classes above described you may belong, and whatsoever may be your present spiritual condition, that Hope and Fear unite in pressing upon you plainly and powerfully, (most earnestly do I implore the Father of Mercies that it may be profitably,) the injunction of my text," "Take good heed therefore unto yourselves, that ye love the Lord your God."

THE PARISHIONERS OF SALEHURST.

MY DEAR FRIENDS,

SOME of you having expressed a wish to see the last sermon preached by me in your parish church; I am induced to publish it, although it was not written originally with any view to its appearing in print. As the sermon was addressed to you, I particularly intend your benefit in making it public; and I sincerely hope that it may persuade you earnestly to seek that kingdom and salvation of God, which it was my duty and privilege to preach to you, when I was your minister.

Bexhill, August, 1830.
