of our father ana and god unto his children wo understand comparatively little concerning ing his great judgement jud gement upon those that fight agahi against 13 st him lie ile can learn earn sonie somewhat what of his judgments upon the jews I 1 0 can learn of his great mercies mercius unto us in blessing us both temporally and spiritually we realise nealise only in a part how great reat are blessings and mercies unto unto us for giving givin us hi only begotten son to die for our sins ail and the sins of the world the lord will carry on oil his work until it shall ultimately triumph until all shall know god our heavenly father and jesus christ whom ile he hath tent 11 wo are glad to have our friends como come to sec cc u and would have then them conic come to see bee us oftener
