A series of allegorical designs, representing the human heart from its natural to its regenerated st . ers in Damascus, better than the watersof Israel ? God cannot look without abhorrenceon a heart in which the evil passions still exist,however asleep they may be, while he has offer-ed to bestow a power which is capable of ex-pelling them ; and nothing but a renewed heart hecan own or behold with complacency. Unless yebe born«^fl5m, 0 miscalled philosopher,ye c«?i?zo^enter into the kingdoni of God: other foundationG 74 can no man lay than that which is laid, ChristJesus. The ordeal which God has appointed totry mens works in the latter day, will reveal whe-ther they have raised on it those Christian virtueswhich are compared to gold and precious stones,dr those vain theories which are the creatures oftheir own device, and which, like wood, hay andstubble, are in their very nature unprofitable butas fuel to the fire.
