session. Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel. Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in them, Ps. ii. 6-12. And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more, Isa. ii. 24. Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth. In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OŬR RIGHTEOUSNESS, Jer. xxiii. 5, 6. And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever, Dan. ii. 44. I saw in the night-visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not

be destroyed. And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him, vii. 13, 14. 27. Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: Behold, thy king cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass, Zech. ix. 9. Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest, Mark xi. 10. And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear, Luke xix. 11. Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the LORD: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest, 38. Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son, Col. i. 13. And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever, Rev. xi. 15. And I

heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night, xii. 10. And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth, xix. 6. And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years, xx. 4.

MATT. VI. 10, 11.

Lord, Lord, shall enter into the king- |
dom of heaven; but he that doeth the
will of my Father which is in heaven,
Matt. vii. 21. For whosoever shall
do the will of my Father which is in
heaven, the same is my brother, and
sister, and mother, xii. 50. He went
away again the second time, and
prayed, saying, O my Father, if this
cup may not pass away from me, ex-
cept I drink it, thy will be done,
xxvi. 42. I delight to do thy will, O
my God: yea thy law is within my
heart, Ps. xl. 8. For whosoever shall
do the will of God, the same is my
brother, and my sister, and mother,
Mark iii. 35. Jesus saith unto them,
My meat is to do the will of him that
sent me, and to finish his work, John
iv. 34. And this is the Father's will
which hath sent me, that of all which
he hath given me I should lose nothing,
but should raise it up again at the last
day. And this is the will of Him that
sent me. That every one which seeth
the Son, and believeth on him, may
have everlasting life and I will raise
him up at the last day, vi. 39, 40.
If any man will do his will, he shall
know of the doctrine, whether it be
of God, or whether I speak of myself,
vii. 17. And when he had removed
him, he raised up unto them David
to be their king; to whom also he
gave testimony, and said, I have
found David the son of Jesse, a man
after mine own heart, which shall fulfil
all my will, Acts xiii. 22. And he
said, The God of our fathers hath
chosen thee, that thou shouldest know
his will, and see that Just One, and
shouldest hear the voice of his mouth,
xxii. 14. And be not conformed to
this world but be ye transformed by
the renewing of your mind, that ye
may prove what is that good, and ac-
ceptable, and perfect, will of God,
Rom. xii. 2. Not with eye-service,
as men-pleasers; but as the servants
of Christ, doing the will of God from
the heart, Eph. vi. 6. For this cause
we also, since the day we heard it,
do not cease to pray for you, and to
desire that ye might be filled with
the knowledge of his will in all wis-
dom and spiritual understanding, Col.
i. 9. For this is the will of God, even
your sanctification, that ye should
abstain from fornication, 1 Thess. iv.

Christ; to whom be glory for ever and

will of God, that with well-doing ye
may put to silence the ignorance of
foolish men, 1 Pet. ii. 15. That he
no longer should live the rest of his
time in the flesh to the lusts of men,
but to the will of God, iv. 2.

c Thou, even thou, art LORD alone;
thou hast made heaven, the heaven

earth, and all things that are therein,
the seas, and all that is therein, and
thou preservest them all; and the
host of heaven worshippeth thee,
Neh. ix. 6. The LORD hath prepared
his throne in the heavens; and his

LORD, ye his angels, that excel in
strength, that do his commandments,
hearkening unto the voice of his word.
Bless ye the LORD, all ye his hosts;

inhabitants of the earth are reputed
as nothing and he doeth according to
his will in the army of heaven, and

and none can stay his hand, or say

Give us this day our daily bread. a But he answered and said, it is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God, Matt. iv. 4. This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded, Gather of it every man according to his eating, an omer for every man, according

[blocks in formation]

to the number of your persons; take ye every man for them which are in his tents. And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some more, some less. And when they did mete it with an omer, he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little had no lack; they gathered every man according to his eating. And Moses said, Let no man leave of it till the morning. Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto Moses; but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and stank and Moses was wroth with them. And they gathered it every morning, every man according to his eating: and when the sun waxed hot, it melted. And it came to pass, that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for one mun: and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses. And he said unto them, This is that which the LORD hath said, To-morrow is the rest of the holy sabbath unto the LORD: bake that which ye will bake, to-day, and seethe that ye will seethe; and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning. And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses bade: and it did not stink, neither was there any worm therein. And Moses said, Eat that to-day; for to-day is a sabbath unto the LORD: to day ye shall not find it in the field. Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is the sabbath, in it there shall be none. And it came to pass, that there went out some of the people on the seventh day for to gather, and they found none. And the Lonp said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my ments and my laws? See, for that the LORD hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day. So the people rested on the seventh day. And the house of Israel called the name thereof Manna: And it was like coriander seed, white; and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey. And Moses said, This is the thing which the LORD commandeth, Fill an omer of it to be kept for your generations; that they may see the VOL. 1.

bread wherewith I have fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you forth from the land of Egypt. And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a pot, and put an omer full of manna therein, and lay it up before the LORD, to be kept for your generations. As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept. And the children of Israel did eat manna forty years, until they came to a land inhabited; they did eat manna, until they came unto the borders of the land of Canaan. Exod. xvi. 1635. Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food, Job xxiii. 12. Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy; To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine, Psal. xxxiii. 18, 19. The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing, xxxiv. 10. Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me, Prov. xxx. 8. Give us day by day our daily bread, Luke xi. 3. Our father did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat, John vi. 31. Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread, 2 Thess. iii. 12. And having food and raiment let us be therewith content, 1 Tim. vi. 8.

hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again unto the land which thou gavest unto their fathers. Then hear thou in heaven thy dwelling-place, and forgive, and do, and give to every man according to his ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for thou, even thou only, knowest the hearts of all the children of men ;) And forgive thy people that have sinned against thee, and all their transgressions wherein they have transgressed against thee, and give them compassion before them who carried them captive, that they may have compassion on them, 1 Kings viii. 30. 34. 39. 50. Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile, Psal. xxxii. 1, 2. If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O LORD, who shall stand? But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared, cxxx. 3, 4. He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy, Prov. xxviii. 13. Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool, Isa. i. 18. I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins. Put me in remembrance let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified, xliii. 25, 26. Let the wicked for sake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon, lv. 7. I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more, Jer. xxxi. 34. O LORD, hear; O LORD, forgive; O LORD, hearken and do; defer not, for thine own sake, O my God: for thy city and thy people are called by thy name, Dan. ix. 19. Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost, shall not be forgiven unto men, Matt. xii. 31. Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren,

that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins, Acts xiii. 38. In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace, Eph. i. 7. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness, 1 John i. 7-9.

Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants. And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents. But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made. The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt, Matt. xviii. 23-27. And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have some what to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on. There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty. And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most? Luke vii. 40— 42. And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil, xi. 4.

c For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. Matt. vi. 14, 15. Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, until seventy times seven, xviii. 21, 22. The same servant went out, and found one of his fellow-servants, which owed him

a Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak, Matt. xxvi. 41. And it came to pass after these things that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am, Gen. xxii. 1. And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldst keep his commandments, or no. Who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not, that he might hum

And for ever. d Amen. his fellow-servant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt. Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thyfellow-servant, even as I had pity on thee? And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him. So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses, 28-ble thee, and that he might prove thee, 35. And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses, Mark xi. 25, 26. Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned; forgive, and ye shall be forgiven, Luke vi. 37. Take heed to yourselves: if thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him. And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him. And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith, xvii. 35. And be ye kind one to another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you, Eph. iv. 32. Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any even as Christ for gave you, so also do ye, Col. iii. 13. For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment, James ii. 13.

VER. 13.

xxx. 8, 9. And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation. And said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation, Luke xxii. 31, 32. 40. 46. There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it, 1 Cor. x. 13, And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. And he said unto me, My grace is suficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather gloryin
