experiences the ground of admission to the Lord's supper.
I am far from pretending to be able to determine how many have lately
been the subjects of such mercy; but if I may be allowed to declare any
thing that appears to me probable in a thing of thin nature, I hope that
more than 300 souls were savingly brought home to Christ, in this town,
in the space of half a year, and about the same number of males as
females. By what I have heard Mr. Stoddard say, this was far from what
has been usual in years past; for he observed that in his time, many
more women were converted than men. Those of our young people who are on
other accounts most considerable, are mostly, as I hope, truly pious,
and leading persons in the ways of religion. Those who were formerly
loose young persons, are generally, to all appearance, become true
lovers of God and Christ, and spiritual in their dispositions. I hope
that by far the greater part of persons in this town, above sixteen
years of age, are such as have the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. By
what I have heard I suppose it is so in some other places, particularly
at Sunderland and South Hadley.
This has also appeared to be a very extraordinary dispensation, in that
the Spirit of God has so much extended not only His awakening, but
regenerating influences, both to elderly persons, and also to those who
are very young. It has been heretofore rarely heard of, that any were
converted past middle age; but now we have the same ground to think that
many such have at this t

Please log in for more thread options compassion, having no regard to the evil
which is in me, and having regard to the good which is in you, grant us all
grace that truth may not be overcome in my hands, and that falsehood...
922. Probable.--Let us see if we seek God sincerely, by comparison of the
things which we love. It is probable that this food will not poison me. It
is probable that I shall not lose my action by not prosecuting it...
923. It is not absolution only which remits sins by the sacrament of
penance, but contrition, which is not real if it does not seek the
sacrament.
924. People who do not keep their word, without faith, without honour,
without truth, deceitful in heart, deceitful in speech; for which that
amphibious animal in fable was once reproached, which held itself in a
doubtful position between the fish and the birds...
It is important to kings and princes to be considered pious; therefore they
must confess themselves to you.
