REFLECTIONS UPON CHAP. I.—What ground have all men to be humble, when they are sprung of Adam, the covenant breaker! and it is necessary to live all as our neighbours and brethren, since God has made of one blood all nations of the earth. How contemptible and short the years of all generations appear before the everlasting God! Quickly men post into death and eternity scarcely are they born into God’s reckoning when they die. How marvel is the providence of God in keeping up the degenerate race of mankind in world, and in such equality between the sexes, amidst such a multitude of changes! Remarkably trodden are the paths of death, though still unknown. What multitudes have gone before us, as there are innumerable that follows and how great and awful will be that assembly in which all the dead, small and great, shall stand before God! Not one existing, from the foundation of the world till Christ’s second coming, shall then be missing! But of little account with God are all nations in respect of his chosen people and church. Their genealogy comes in merely as incidental to that of his favourite family. 5 E
