Sinopsis

A considerable portion of the Sacred Volume (as the Book of Psalms and Canticles in the Old Testament, and a large part of the several Epistles in the New Testament) is occupied with the interesting subject of Christian Experience, and exhibits its character, under different dispensations of religion, and diversified with an endless variety of circumstances, as ever essentially the same. As the same features of countenance and elevation of stature have always marked the human species in the midst of the creation of God, so an identity of feature and 'measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ' has, in all ages, and under every shade of outward difference, distinguished the family of God, 'as the people that should dwell alone, and should not be reckoned among the nations.' This indeed was to have been expected. Human nature has undergone no change since the fall. In its unrenewed state it is still captivated in the same chains of sin, and, when renewed, it is under the influence of the same Spirit of grace.á'That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.' The modern believer, therefore, when employed in tracing the records of Patriarchal or Mosaic experience, will mark in the infirmities of the ancient people of God a picture of his own heart, 'answering, as in water face answers to face,' and in comparing their gracious exercises with his own, he will be ready to acknowledge-'All these works that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as He will.'
