Excerpt from The Redeemer's Tears Wept Over Lost Souls: A Treatise on Luke XIX, 41, 42, With an Appendix

He, ye shall die in your sins. Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. And here, how doth it become us too, in conformity to his great example, to speak compas sionately, and as those that, in some measure, know the terror of the Lord 0 how doleful is the case, when we consider the inconsistent notions of many, with, not this or that particular doctrine, or article of the Christian faith, but with the whole sum of Christianity, the atheism of some, the avowed mere theism of others! The former sort far outd'oing the J ewish infidelity. Which people, besides the rational means of demonstrating a Deity common to them with the rest of mankind, could, upon the account of many things peculiar to themselves, be in no suspense con cerning this matter. How great was their reverence of the books of the Old Testament, especially those of Moses! Their knowledge most certain of plain, and most convincing matter of fact. Howlong the government of their nation had been an immediate theocracy! What evident tokens of the Divine presence had beenamong them from age to age in how wonderful a manner they were brought out of Egypt, through the Red sea, and conducted all along through the wilderness how glorious an appearance and manifestation of himself God afforded to them at the giving of the law, upon mount Sinai and by how appa rent exertions of the Divine power the former inhabitants were expelled, and they settled in the promised land! Upon all this they could be in no more doubt concerning the existence of a Deity, than of the sun in the firmament. Whereas we are put to prove, in a Christian nation, that this world, and its continual successive inhabitants, have a wise'intelligent Maker and Lord; and that all things came not into the state whereinthey are, by (no man can imagine what) either fatal necessity or casualty.
