sence; be invigorates virtue, and awes vice,149. God's
ubiquity exemplified, 150-153. The grandeur of God
justifies mysteries, and supersedes objects, 160, 163.
It is an argument to repentance, to humility, to confi-
dence, and to vigilance, 163. It should awe the hypo-
crite, the worldling, the slave of sensuality, 165. It is a
grand subject for enforcing charges of sanctity on an au-
dience, 165.

tion, 247, 248.

God's compassion must be in harmony with the spiritual-
ity of his essence, 259. He alone is capable of perfect
compassion, 267. It is exemplified to sinful men by
the victim he has substituted, by the patience he has
exercised, by the crimes he has pardoned, by the
friendship he has afforded, and by the rewards he has
bestowed, 271-280. The goodness of God defined,
293, 349.

God's anger and wrath are ideas borrowed from men.
Their animal spirits boil with rage; but anger with God
is knowing how to proportion punishment to crime, 314.

of all his perfections: they all act in unison, exemplified

in five points, 322.

HEAVEN: God will there communicate ideas or knowledge, iii.
397. Love, 401. Virtues, 404. Felicity, 405.
These four communications are connected together: we
cannot in heaven help possessing rectitude of thought,
and a propensity to love, and imitate God, 410.

A resemblance of God being the essence of heaven, it is
Satan's plan to render man unlike his God, 411.

happiness, 442; in painful sensations, 443; in remorse
of conscience, 444; in the horrors of the society, 446;
in the increase of sin, 447.
