the bush for something extol:nal to re-
generate humanity, I would say, It is
beginning to ditwil on the mind that a
man desiring to repent (that is desiring
to oeaso to do evil) ought to look to the
Lord soone. If ho looks up to God the
Father only 100 oannot be purified ; nor

nor if to tho Son es a man only ; foe
there is but one God, and the Lord. Josue
(theist; is He, for His divine and human
are one porsoo, " Ito is tho fullness of the
Godhead," (the Trinity. in unity in one
poison). As is shown on the Gospel, •
that everyone desiring to repent might
look to the Lord alone. Tho Holy Supper
was imitated by Hilo, which confirms
it, because in that sapper or cotumunion
every one is kept looking to the Lord
alone. However the seeming impossi-
