Divine contemplations, and spiritual breathings of Mr. Henry Dorney

1661. To D. S. N^o 62.

LEt it be your and my study still to derive mor∣tifying Power from the Grace and Cross of him who was dead, and is alive: I mean the Lamb who stands before the Throne in the vertue of his own Sacrifice, Rev. 5. 6. perpetually to intercede for effectuating all the ends of his Mediation to them who come to God through him. Our Prayers wing∣ed with faith in Christ, and fellow-feeling one of another's troubles, may fly faster than Letters can; and there is no fear of their miscarriage, if once

placed by faith in the Mediator's hand. The Lord who dwells in Houses not made with hands, is the Habitation of his People. Let the fulness of all man∣ner of Contentment that is on the other side Jordan so warm our hope and faith, that nothing on this side may discompose. And Oh that I could dwell more in the view of him who is lifted up to draw all Men to him; that so these earthly Affections might be transformed, and fetch satiating delight from the place where Christ sits, who is even now our life. I commend you to him; at his Throne let us meet, and make merry in the Author of Con∣solation, and our blessed Hope.
