66 the heart's-ease 



friend: who dearly loved to follow the wonder- 

 working hand of creative power in its glorious dis 

 plays throughout the visible world, and to trace the 

 beautiful analogy subsisting between the providen- 

 tial government without, and the rule of grace 

 within us. He understood the privilege of giv- 

 ing, as it were, a tongue to every object, that all 

 might unite in one harmonious song of praise. 

 This formed a conspicuous tie among the many 



that appeared to bind the spirit of D with that 



of my dumb boy, in such perfect fellowship ; per 

 feet indeed beyond what poor mortality may con 

 ceive.
