MATTHEW VL 33.
BUT SEEK YE FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD, AND HIS
RIGHTEOUSNESS; AND ALL THESE THINGS SHALL BE.
ADDED UNTO YOU.
IF a ferious perfan, who has attained that period of life
at which reafon begins to exert itfelf, fhould be left,
without better information, to his own reflexions, it is
natural to fuppofe he would commune with his own
heart in fbme fuch manner as the following : " Whence,
and what am I ? I find myfelf placed here, by fome un-
feen power, in a wide-extended, a boundlefs creation.
The magnificence and fplendor of the objefts that fur-
rourid me, excite my wonder, and invite my admiration..
Every thing I fee, is great, regular, orderly, and beautiful.
But — what am I i^ of how inferior rank in this fair fcene!
How inconfiderable,. compared to ,thofe numerous fplen-
did objedls my aftoniflied eyes behold ! I am fwallowed
up, and loft, as it were, in the immenfity of matter that
furrounds me, and moft diftinguiflied by my weaknefs
and imperfeftion. Wherein is fo infignificant a being as
this to' be accounted of in the eyes of that omnipotent
maker, whofe creation, wonderful as it is, was, perhaps,
only the hiding of his power., Is it at all likely, that a
being.

VI A SERMON PREACHED BEFORE
being, coqfcious of fo many frailties and fo much weak
nefs as I am, whofe very virtues are but fo many bk-
miflies, is of any value in the eftimation of the Creator of
the Univerfe ? May a not only weak, but finful creature,
as I know myfelf to be, prefume to expedl any favourable
kindnefs from a being who muft be all-perfed;, and pure,
and juft ?"
Some fuch gloomy thoughts as thefe would naturally
arife in every breaft informed by nature alone; the quiet
affurance and tranquility of the mind will depend, in a
great meafure, on the foMng of its doubts : and yet,
reafon, and the philofophy of nature, are unable to folve
them. — But th^ Redeemer of the world has refolved, and
has removed them. He has told us plainly, what other-
wife we never fhould have known, of .the father, thnf .he
loveth us, and caret b for us : nay more, that he loveth us
better, and careth for us more than for every thing clfe in
this vifible fyflem of creation ; in which if it be, as it
moft certainly is, true, that not one fparrow falleth to the
ground, without the permiilion of our Heavenly Father.;
it is, he afiTures us, equally true, that the very hairs of
our head are all numbered. And in confequence of tiiis
affurance, he has graciouHy direded us to forbear to en
tertain any immoderate anxiety about the things of this
world ; he has admonifhed us not to be over careful, as
that would imply a diftruft of his care for us : but to
feek firft the kingdom of God, and his righteoufnefs,
that is, to make it our principal care and ftudy, by faith
find obedience, to fecure the true riches ; and then he
4 afTur^s

THE SONS OP THE CLERGY. vii
afiures us, that all things neceflfary for our bodily fup-
port, fhall be added to us.
Had the great governor of the world, after having
opened to us a profped of Heaven, and a glorious im
mortality, left us to that exceeding great and precious
promife, that future hope only, as an armour againft
all the evils of this tranfitory ftate, as a fure and fted-
faft anchor of the foul, this had been amply fufiicient,
and wC fhould have had no juft caufe to complain,
but, on the contrary, all the reafon in the world to be
thankful. For what fhall a man put in competition with
the foul, and its eternal welfare? But God, who knoweth
whereof we are made, who knoweth that he has given
us a body as well as a foul, knoweth alfo that there arc
things needful for that body, and that our mixt and com
pound nature is apt to fet a very high value on them ; and
fo tenderly does he love us, that in condefcenfion to this
our weaknefs, he himfelf has vouchfafed to alTure us,
that if we will obey his blefi'ed will, and feek him and
his righteoufnefs, firft and above all things, he will add
to this our moft neceffary, and moft important acqui-
fition, all that is needful for our bodily fubfiftencc

it to pafs .? Nay, if that be pofTible, he hath more
than promifed it. He has required and intreated us to
believe him. He has expoftulated with our unkind dif
truft of him, in a manner fo affedionate, and withall fo'
authoritative,, as to melt,, one would think,, the moft ob
durate:

durate heart, and to convince even Scepticlfm itfelf.
*' Why are ye doubtful, O ye of little faith ? Confider the
lilies of the field j confider the fowls of the air^ and be
not faithlefs, but believing,"
Yet fome man, perhaps, will afk, what too many have
afked, with a fneer, But how are thefe needful things added ?
and by what hand are they fent? Do the ravens bring the
fervants of God bread and flefh in the morning, and bread
and flefh in the evening ? E)oes the ftony rock afford them
water? Does their raiment neverwax old ? and do they never
come into plagues and misfortunes like other men ? — Such
language we have heard even from thofe who have been
divinely fupported from their youth up, until now ; to
whom God has given life and health, and the ufe of rea
fon and language, which they very gracioufly employ in
arraigning him, and his Providence in the -government of
the world. v'
In reply to th.efe captious and querulous fuggeftions,
be it obferved, that they proceed on a falfe fuppofition ;
they are founded on what neither the promife of the
text, nor any other part of Scripture, implies; namely,
that good men fhall be furnifhed with thefe need
ful things in a miraculous manner. — Under the Pa
triarchal and Mofaic difpenfatiori, indeed, God did, at
fundry times, and in divers manners, interpofe vifibly,
and make bare his arm, for the fupport of his faithful
fervants. Jacob, and Mofes, and Elijah, were, it is true,
often refcuedj and proteded, and fupported, by a miracle
wrought

THE SONS OF THE CLERGY. 1*
wrought on their behalf. By the fame power, avowedly
and conftantly exerted in their favour, were the Levites
of old fubfifted and fuftained ; and afterwards David,
and Daniel, and Paul, were preferved by the fame mira
culous interpofition from the paw of the lion, and the
bear ; the many deaths; which in various fhapes, at diffe
rent times, threatened them.
All this is moft undoubtedly true; and it is equally
true, that we now fee no fuch vifible interference of the
Almighty in fupport of his fervants. — But why fhould it
be thought that God's providence is lefs real, though it be
not equally ftriking, when he effedts his purpofes, as he
does in thefe our days, by the agency of fecond caufes ?
I
When Chrift fed 5000 people in the wildernefs, with
five barley loaves and two fmall fifhes, every one who
partook of that wonderful feaft was, no doubt, devoutly
thankful ; and admired and adored the miracle. Now, he
openetb his hand, and by the regular returns of the har-
veft, filleth all things living with plenteoufnefs — let Rea
fon fay if that be a lefs miracle. Herein lies the difference;
in the one cafe he vifibly, and without the covert appli
cation, if I may fo fpeak, of fecond caufes, exerts his
power; in the other, he difpofes and orders a variety of
material inftruments, with fuch mechanical powers as na
turally to produce the thing he intended to effed.
When St. Paul was fhip- wrecked on the ifland of Me-
lita, Publius the governor, we read, fhewed him and his
fellowi-fufferers much kindnefs, and gave them fuch things
b as

X A SERMON PREACHED BEFORE
as they flood in need of, prompted to relieve theif diftrcfs
by an unfeen impulfe from that God who had foretold it.-
And it is the fame ever-watchful Providence, that now
worketh in the hearts of the good and bountiful : and
which lately difpofed a noble prelate to reach out a com
fortable provifjon to one, who had before eaten only the
bread and drank the water of afflitlion, who was tOta.lly
unknown to the giver ; and whofe diftrefs, in his own
idea, I think I may be bold to fay, was beyond the reach
of human relief. And, to adduce but one inftance more,
the ftrongeft, perhaps, that has occurred fince the age of
miracles, it is the fame God who rained down manna
from Heaven on the Ifraelites in the wildernefs, that now,
by you, his fervants here affembled, fhowers down his
bleffings on the widows and orphans of thofe fhepherds,
who were employed in conducing his people through
another wildernefs : all is alike the Lord's doing ; and
ought to be equally marvelloas in our eyes.
The difference is only this : — under the Gofpel-difpefi-
fation he fetteth one thing againft another ; the rich and
the poor meet together! they meet, and fit like inden
tures, where the redundancy fills the vacancy: the Lord
is the maker of them both ; not only their maker as tbey
are men, but as they are rich and poor; the better to
effefl the wife and hidden purpofes of his providence,
Impulfe and attradion do not more fitly confift and
confpire to carry on the revolution of the earth, and the
heavenly bodies in the natural,, than poverty and riches
combine to bring about that revolution, of events, by
which

THE fiONS OF THE CL.EROY. XI
which God's will is accomplifhed in the moral {yHQm.
It is the fame almighty power, by which waters flow
from their fountain, and light from the fun, by which
all material nature aflts according to God's original de-
fign, that prepareth the hearts of the humane and chari
table to commiferate the helplefs orphan, and to wipe
away the tear from the widovs^'s cheek. Our fupple-
mental bounty is admitted into his fyftem, that he may
be enabled to reward us the more for it. God fets bounds
to his goodnefs, only to give us opportunity of exerting
ours : and that we may feel the pleafure of that truth,
" that it is moreblefied to give than to receive."
The popular oibjediori, therefore, to a particular pro
vidence, founded on the unequal diftribution of the good
things, as they are ufually called, of this life, which to a
hafty and incurious obferver may feem to form the
ftrongeft arg^iment againft it, is, in reality, when duly
confidered, the fulleft proof of it that can be advanced'
or oflered. — Allow, that the governor of the world does
icatter his favours promifcuoufly, and that though he'
profeffes himfelf the patron of virtue and religion, yet it
is often feen, that no two things ftand more widely from
each other in this prefent ftate, than the pradice of vir
tue, and the reward of it. Allow all that fpecious de
clamation has faid, or can iay on this fubjeQ:, from the
days of Job, the earlieft writer we know of, down to the
pr€fent times j and without having recourfe to the end of
the(e men, wherein it will certainly appear that God has
been a righteous judge, as well as ftrong and patient :
without confidering, which yet fliould be attentively con-
b 2 fidered.

XU >A SERMON PREACHED BEFORE
fidered, that death docs not remove us out of God's em
pire, but that he can in a moment, in the twinkling of
an eye, change the garments rolled in blood, into robes of
glory ; I fay, allow it all, and it will all only turn to the
praife of God ; it will turn out to be a confirmation of
that truth it is brought to difprove. For what is God ?
a moral governor. What is Man ? a moral agent. Now
in a world confifting of beings conftituted as men are,
without hardfliips, where is trial? and without trial,
where is virtue ? and without virtue, where is reward ?
Wealth and eafe, and faring fumptuoufly, may be pleafure;
but poverty, and patience, and refignation, this is virtue ;
and yet this virtue ean be called into exiftence only by
hardfhip and diftrefs. Thefe beautiful colourings of a
heavenly mind, like thofe of the rainbow, are feen only
in clouds.
Thus we fee that the neceffary inequalities in God's
government of the world is fo far from affording an ob-
jedion to the exiftence of his providence, that it only
contributes to eftablifh the belief of it : we fee too,
that this prefent world is fo conftituted as to be, what
we fhould naturally expeft to find it, a fchool for all the
virtues : and, therefore, that thus it behoveth accountable
and rewardable beings, fuch as we are, to fuffer firft,
and then to enter into our glory. If to this we add, that
thereby is given to the wealthy the glorious opportunity of
exercifing that virtue, which is the great ornament of his
nature, and for which his wealth was probably entrufted
to him, we fhall fee this objedion entirely vanifh, and
that he, who once out of weaknefs, out of the mouth of
babes

THE SONS' OF THE CLERGY. XHl
babes and fucklings ordained ftrength, doth now, out of
the mouth of objedors to his providence, perfed praife.
It is not then ma,terial to the argument under confidera-
tion, if indeed the point will admit of an argument,
whether the promife of the text will be fulfilled in a na
tural, or fupernatural way. If a man eats, and drinks,
and is clothed, the promife of (jod is fulfilled. And that
it has conftantly been fulfilled, and is now fulfilling, wit
nefs thofe fplendid edifices in this metropolis, in which
ample provifion is m^de for almoft every fpecies of mifery
and diftrefs. Walk about this our Sion, and go round
about her, and, I -do not fay tell the towers thereof, but
count the many fpacious buildings ereCled to charitable
ufes; and you will readily admit, that he who hath
worked hitherto, ftill worketh in and by fome, for the
prefervation of all his rcafonable creatures. Witnefs the
recent eftablifhment of Sunday Schools, a work certainly
of God ! for which the tongues of infants fhall lifp our
praife, and generations yet unborn applaud and celebrate
the prefent.
But need I carry your view beyond this auguft temple
in which we are now aflembled, and this day's celebrity ;
on which occafion we may fitly and juftly exclaim.
This day this Scripture is fulfilled in our ears.
The promife of the Redeemer, indeed, extends only
to things needful ; but the completion of that does not
always limit his bounty. To many he gives the conve
niences, and elegancies, as well as the necefiaries of life.
The gracious mafter, whom we ferve, is daily pouring his

XIV A SERMOtJ p:RS;ACJIE.D BEFORE
bis benefits, his uncovenan ted benefits, upon us. We,
who are now alive at this day, have feen many elevated
to the firft ftations in church and ftate, while they have
been literally feeking the kingdom of God and his righte
oufnefs. But if it were not fo, be it known unto thefe
cavilers and obje6lors, that we are not careful to aofwer
them in this matter. The minifter of the gofpel enters
into the fervice of his heavenly mafter with other and
higher views ; he ferves him on the nobler principle of
love. He knows full well that the performance of this
promife of God does not extend -to the warding ofl^ the
evils of humanity ; nor is he fondly led to think that
they who preach the crofs, fhall never bear it on them-
felves. He has not fo learned Chrift. He knows whom
he ferves, and whom he has believed. His mind thus
framed, he is perfuaded that godlinefs is fufiicient riches ;
and though he may happen to have nothing, he has the
ijecrct of pofleffing, or at leaft of enjoying, all things.
Let us, then, at leaft as many as wifh to be perfed, be
thus minded; let us remember his hiftory who vowed a vow,
that if God would be with him in the way that he fhould
go, and give him food to eat, and raiment to put on, then
fliould the Lord be his God. And let the remembrance
of his hiftory, let the univerfal experience of all ages,
let the promifes of God, ferve to fupport and com
fort the aged preacher of righteoufnefs, in his poverty,
while he lieth fick upon his be<l : let it remove the
doubts, and ftrengthen the faith, of his now departing
foul ; for though he die, God liveth ; and in him his

feed will find a fure and never failing fuccour and fiitju-
pOFt — by you the glorioms inftruments of his providence.
Proceed, then, fellow-labourers, together with God,
proceed in this work of love; go on from ftrength to
ftrength, and the Lord profper you : we wifh you good
lock in the name of the Lord. Go on, affured that this
is his peculiar work ; for God loveth the gates of Sion,
more than all the dwellings of Jacob : and though many
excellent things have been fairly fpaken of other fpecies
of charity, of this I think it may be truly faid, thou ex-
celleft them all. — Nor arc they, whofe caufe I now plead,
unworthy for whom youfhoulddo this ; they are the chil
dren and widows of thofe, who having ferved God in their
generation, are now fallen afleep ; they are a race, who
have no arm fo oppofe to poverty but that of patience ;
no fhield to combat with but that of faith. And what
makes their eafe ftill more pitiable, they are the defcend-
ants and relatives of thofe who were prevented and re-
ftrided by decency, by a regard to their charafter, nay, by
the laws of their country, from .mixing with fecular af
fairs, and thus laying up in ftore for the fbture prQvifi9n
oif their families.
Men, brethren and fathers, let me fi-eely, and without
the hazard of danger as to inviduous conllrudion, fpeak
to you of the merits of the Clergy of the Church of
England. To what order of men do you, does the whole
Englifh nation, owe the greateft and moft diftinguifhing
bleffings it now enjoys ? To whom, under Gocf, are you
indebted

XVl A SERMON PREACHED BEFORE
indebted for the original introduftion of Chriftianity into
this ifland ? let hiftory anfwer, and it will fay, a prieft.
To whofe fkill and induftry do you owe the tranflation of
the Scriptures from their original, into your mother-
tongue ? a labour truly aftonifhing ! a work of the firft
confequence to the prefent and eternal interefts of millions !
Truth muft anfwer, to the Englifh clergy. To whom is
this nation indebted for the Reformation, and all that
glorious fpiritual liberty, its confequent, which we now
more than enjoy, — which we riot in ? By whofe munifi
cence were the many noble and ufeful foundations and
feminaries for the fupport of religion and learning, in our
two univerfities, and elfewhere in this kingdom, inftituted
and ere6Ved ? Truth muft confefs, chiefly to the Englifli
clergy. To whom did we owe the well-tempered oppo-
fition to arbitrary power, and the fecurity of our prefent
happy conftitution ? Let hiftory anfwer, and fhe will fay,
the Englifh Clergy had their fhare in it. To whom, in
the beginning of this century, did a neighbouring king
dom owe its fafety and prefervation, when threatened
with a famine, that feemed to baffle all human power of
relief? Hiftory will tell us, to a clergyman, and that
clergyman, a bifhop ; no mean proof, furely, that riches
are not always, as fome would have us think, ill placed in
ecclefiaftical hands ,!
When I venture to plead the merits of our order, I
would be underftood to mean only their merits relative
to fociety. God forbid that any man /fhould glory on
his own, or on any created being's account before HIM, who

THE SONS OF THE CLERGY. ' XVll
who chargeth his very angels with folly; who looketh
to the moon, and it fhineth not; and the ftars are not
pure in his fight.— No ; before HIM we defire to flirinki
into nothing; before HIM we defire, if I might be al
lowed the exprefllon, to annihilate ourfelves. Before
HIM we prefume not to talk of merit, well knowing,
that without the imputation of his merits, the very heft
of us are not fo much- as intitled to mercy.
But if it fhould be deemed improper to fpeak more
largely of the merits, permit me at leaft to fpeak largely
and feelingly of the hardfliips, the mifery, and the dif
trefs of too many of the Englifh clergy. Shut not your
merciful ears to that reprefentation, which ftands toocon-
feffed' to be controverted or denied. And here, in this
place, let me fpeak efpecially of the diftrefs of their wi-
dovjs and children*. — Bereft of their only fupport, by
the lofs of him, from whom they derived their all ; ba-
nifhed from that roof under which they dwelt fecurely,
into a wide and wicked world, with no protedion, per
haps, but that of innocence, how uncommonly hard is
their lot ; how fingularly pitiable their fate ! Should they
have been tempted in the bitternefs of their fouls, to cry
out, *' God hath forgotten us, he hideth away his face,
and will never look upon us ;" it is at leaft the language
of nature. But grace fpeaketh better things ; God fays,
* I cannot here omit the opportunity that offers of recommending to
the humane and opulent, a recently eftablifhed charity for the " Mainte
nance and Educatfon of poor Orphans of the Clergy, till of age to be put
appirentice." c forbear

XVlil A SERMON PREACHED BEFORE
forbear complaining, O thou of little faith ; I have not
forgotten thee; I have furely feen it;" — for he regardeth
the diftrefs of all his, fervants — Stand ftill, then, and con
fider the wonderful works of God; how gracious he is in
his dealings towards the children of men. The fame
providence which inflided the lofs, furnifties the remedy;
God becomes a father of the fatherlefs, and defendeth the
caufe of the widow. By you, his almoners, he fends
them relief as really, though not fo apparently, as he fed
Elijah by the ravens in the defart; fo that we may fe
curely and triumphantly with the Pfalmift exclaim, " I
have been young, and now am old ; and yet faw I never
the righteous forfaken, nor his feed begging their bread."
God is not unrighteous, that he fhould forget your
works and labour of love, which love ye have fhewed for his
name's fake, who have miniftered unto the faints, and yet
do minifter. God unrighteous ! no ; God forbid ! and
yet, you fee, he admits by his apoftle, that he fhould be
fo, were he to forget thefe your fervices. No ; he not
only never will forget them, but what is more, he will
interpret them, as done unto himfelf. " Inafmuch as ye
have done it unto thefe, my brethren, ye have done it to
me." Under the full fenfe, and invigorating influence of this
truth, let him that hath much give plenteoufly ; and let
him that hath little do his diligence gladly to give of that
little.— So fhall we, every one of us, lay up a good foun
dation againft that great and terrible day, when every one's
work fhall be tried by fire : when he who hath delivered
3 the

THE SONS OF THE CLERGY. XlX
the poor and needy, fhall himfelf be delivered from the
wrath to come, by the God of all mercy, who delights in
a6ts of mercy ; who himfelf is mercy ; and who to the
merciful man, at that awful hour when he will moft ftand
in need of it, will extend his mercy, which, as we fhall
all moft certainly want, fo God grant that we may all
diligently ftrive to obtain ; through the merits of Jefus
Chrift, to whom, with the Father, and the Holy Spirit,
be afcribed all honour and glory, in this world, and that
which is to come.

Dr. Godolphin, Dean of St, Paul's, had refufed letting Mufic be intro
