CORNS> <N OF REFORMATION> <D 1641> <E YALE1> SIR, AMIDST THOSE DEEP AND RETIRED THOUGHTS, WHICH WITH EVERY MAN CHRISTIANLY INSTRUCTED, OUGHT TO BE MOST FREQUENT OF GOD, AND OF HIS MIRACULOUS WAYS, AND WORKS, AMONGST MEN, AND OF OUR RELIGION AND WORSHIP, TO BE PERFORMED TO HIM; AFTER THE STORY OF OUR SAVIOUR CHRIST SUFFERING TO THE LOWEST BENT OF WEAKNESS, IN THE FLESH, AND PRESENTLY TRIUMPHING TO THE HIGHEST PITCH OF GLORY, IN THE SPIRIT WHICH DREW UP HIS BODY ALSO TILL WE IN BOTH BE UNITED TO HIM IN THE REVELATION OF HIS KINGDOM: I DO NOT KNOW OF ANY THING MORE WORTHY TO TAKE UP THE WHOLE PASSION OF PITY, ON THE ONE SIDE, AND JOY ON THE OTHER: THAN TO CONSIDER FIRST, THE FOUL AND SUDDEN CORRUPTION, AND THEN AFTER MANY A TEDIOUS AGE, THE LONG-DEFERRED BUT MUCH MORE WONDERFUL AND HAPPY REFORMATION OF THE CHURCH IN THESE LATTER DAYS.
