Book Description
Excerpt from Evening Exercises for the Closet, Vol. 2: For Every Day in the Year Was this staff the same he spoke of when he was returning from Haran With my sta I passed over Jordan, and now I am become two hands? If so, and the thing is very probable, how many feelings would this companion of all his journeys revive! For after a length of time even inanimate things draw from us a strange kind of regard, and affect us, if not by themselves, yet by their associations - But it was an instance of his bodily decline and infirmity. He whose constitution had enabled him to hear such travels and fatigues is now reduced to the weakness of infancy and dependence; and leans upon the top of his staff. The glory of young men is their strength but let them remember their Creator in the days of their youth; for the evil days will come when they shall say, we have no pleasure in them; when they that look out of the windows shall be darkened, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the grasshopper be a burden, because man goeth to his long home. - It was also a proof of his conscientiousness in duty. He would place himself in the best posture of devotion his infirmities would admit. We are to glorify God in our bodies as well as in our spirits; and though he does not bind us down to any corporeal forms, yet every thing in his service should be expressive of reverence and godly fear. The Seraphim veil their faces with their wings. Our Lord kneeled three times in the garden. So Jacob, aged as he was, and under the debility of approaching dissolution, when he would adore God, rose upon his knees, though he was obliged to seek support. Think of this, ye who, in full health and vigour, instead of kneeling or standing, sit during the devotion of the sanctuary; and see how far you come short of the self-denial and godliness of this patriarch.

Book Description
Excerpt from Morning and Evening, Vol. 1 of 3: Exercises for the Closet for Every Day in the Year The following pages, it is believed, will be found to differ a little from works of the same species; especially in making the Exercises always express more fully the import of the textual motto at the head of them; in the arrangement or a greater diversity of subjects in the selection of more passages from the less observed and less improved parts of Scripture and in the seizure of hints of in struction from the more indirect and incidental strokes of the Sacred Penmen.
