1. Their Unity, which strengthen'd their Prayers; who being all with one accord in one Place (as we read Ver. 1.) were also of one Mind, of one Heart, and of one Spirit.

2. This filled their Souls with Tranquility.

3. It gave them some Foretastes of the Joys of Heaven.

4. It disposed them to a clearer Understanding of the Truth and Mysteries of Christ's Kingdom.

To all which Particulars I distinctly spoke, and added these further Considerations; viz.

1. That their Faith and Patience were excellent Qualifications, fitting them to receive the Holy Ghost.

2. That in a moment, and without any Art, they were enabled to speak with other Tongues, i. e. all the Languages they had occasion to use.

3. That their Capacity was proportionable to their high and difficult Employment, and the Circumstances of the Church at that time.

4. That in a few Years they ran down the Idolatrous Rites and Sacrifices of all Nations, and set up and establish'd the Service and Worship of their Crucify'd Master, shewing Him to be the true Living God.

5. That they were endu'd with a Power of working as great, yea, greater Miracles than himself had wrought.

6. ult. That we Christians, who profess to believe all this to be true, should therefore live suitably, and as it becomes this our holy Profession; and whenever we have been so miserable as to do otherwise, take care to repent (in due time) of all our Sins, and to amend our Lives; undoing (as far as possible) the Evil that we have done.

On these I enlarg'd, and concluded with particular Exhortations to the Condemned.

And on Trinity-Sunday the 16th instant , I again preach'd to them and several others there present, both in the Morning and Afternoon, upon part of the Gospel for the Day, viz. John 3. 3. JESUS answer'd and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a Man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of GOD.

From which Words, spoken by our Blessed Saviour to Nicodemus, Ruler of the Jews, I shew'd,

1. That to be born again, is to be renew'd by the Spirit of Christ, and brought out of our Natural Corruption into a State of Purity and Holiness; to be restor'd unto the Divine Image; and of the Children of Adam made the Children of GOD, and Heirs of Salvation and Eternal Life.

II. That by the Kingdom of GOD in the Text, is meant the Kingdom of Grace in this World, and that of Glory in the next.

III. That the Seeing of that Kingdom, is to be admitted into it, to enjoy and possess it for ever.
