the pillar of fire which fhould attract the affections and 
guide the conduct of every member of fociety. The rank 
of no. man can be fo elevated as: to fet him above loving his 
neighbour, and doing to. all men as he. would they fhould do

deprive him of the means of being meck and merciful, flow 
to anger, and ready to forgive injury. 
Cuarity is the corner ftone of the great edifice of Chrift’s

in the fight of God. Let the milk of human xindnefs be 
taught to flow through every channel of religion. Then, 
though the mazes: of myftery and the involutions of knotty 
do@rine may continue to puzzle the underftanding, they will 
ceafe to corrupt the heart.
