There is but one thing for us to look to, my reverend brethren, after this-that which indeed may anticipate and prevent it. I mean the final reckoning. "Behold, I come quickly, and my reward is with me, to give unto every man according as his work shall be."* I trust this has been upon the minds of all of us—I trust it ever will be; the recollection of our obligations will then be cherished and habitual. We shall not covet or desire to stand excused in anything, nor cease our labour, care, and diligence, till (as our church commands) we have done “all that lieth in us, according to our bounden duty, to bring all such as are or shall be committed to our charge, to that agreement in the faith and knowledge of God, and to that ripeness and perfectness of age in Christ, that there may be no place left among them for error in religion or viciousness in life."+ * Rev. xxii. 12. + Ordin.
