became obedient unto death, even the death of the

cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted

him, and given him a name which is above every

name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should

bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and

things under the earth: And that every tongue should

confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of

God the Father

BY CHRIST ALL THINGS CREATED.

COL. i. 15-17.

Who is the image of the invisible God, the first-born

of every creature: For by him were all things cre-

ated, that are in heaven, and that are in earth,

visible and invisible, whether they be thrones or do-

minions, or principalities or powers: all things

were created by him and for him. And he is

before all things, and by him all things consist.... 244

SERMON XVIII.

CHRIST A HIGH PRIEST.

HEB. iv. 14-16.

Seeing then that we have a great High Priest that

is passed into the Heavens, Jesus the Son of God,

let us hold fast our profession. For we have not

an High Priest which cannot be touched with the

feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points

tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
Let us

therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that

we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time

of need

SERMON XXII.

THE SON DELIVERING UP THE KINGDOM TO THE

FATHER.

[First Sunday after Easter.]

1 COR. XV. 24-28.

Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up

the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he

shall have put down all rule and all authority and

power. For he must reign, till he hath put all

enemies under his feet. The last enemy that shall

be destroyed is death. For he hath put all things

under his feet. But when he saith, all things are

put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted,

which did put all things under him. And when all

things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the

Son also himself be subject unto him that put all

things under him, that God may be all in all

SERMON I.

JESUS CRUCIFIED, BURIED, RISING FROM
THE DEAD.

[ON THE FIRST SUNDAY AFTER EASTER.]

PSALM CXXvi. 3.

The Lord hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.

THE world witnessed, in three successive days, events of infinitely greater moment than any that occurred, or than can possibly occur, through the periods of its duration Jesus Christ was crucified-Jesus Christ was under the dominion of the grave-Jesus Christ rose from the tomb.

These are the events which the Church, at this sacred season, has been commemorating.

Events, with which we are familiar, lose in a degree their power to affect us. It is serious and continued reflection alone that can present them to us with all the force and liveliness which are due to their intrinsic importance, and to the interest which we may have in them. But, unless there be some powerful impulse arising from
