A Plain Commentary On The Four Holy Gospels Vol 1 Of 2 PDF Download

Excerpt from A Plain Commentary on the Four Holy Gospels, Vol. 1 of 2: Intended Chiefly for Devotional Reading; St. Matthew St. Mark This suits well [with the foregoing sum of the Baptist's preaching, and is in effect the same with it. Repent, ' is, Prepare the way' of the lord, make His paths straight.' Repentance levels the heart to god makes it a plain for christ to walk in; casts down the Mountains of Pride; and raises the soul from base, low, earthly ways and affections smooths the rugged passions, and straightens the crooked deceit of the heart; makes it sincere and straight, both towards god and Man. And this is our business, - to be dealing with our hearts, leveling, smooth ing, straightening them for our lord; that He may take delight to dwell and walk in them, and refresh them with His presence. And certainly, the more holy dili gence is used in suiting the heart to His holy will, the more of His sweet presence shall we enjoy. SO far, pious Leighton.
