THE
[No. IV.]
HARMONY
OF THE
DIVINE ATTRIBUTES.
From PSALM Ixxxv. 10.
Mercy and Truth are met together, Righ-
teoufnefs and Peace have killed each other.
TTE MCE we may fee what is the fountain-head, and
foundation of ail true communion and fellowflup
w ith God and man. This glorious meeting is the foun¬
dation of all other happy meetings : fejlowlhip with God,
and an happy meeting with him, is a ftream that flows
from this fountain. We could never have met with God,
or got a kindly kifs or embrace in the arms of his favour
and love, if this divine meeting and embracemenr,~had
not made way for it. FellovvQiip with man, or the com-
munion of faints, is a rivulet that flows from this fprihg.
When faints meet together for prayer or praifes under
the influence of the Spirit, and under a gale of heaven,
when their hearts are fired with love to God, and to one
another in him; What is this? It is juft a live coal caft
in among them, from th.e altar, Chrift Jefus, where a’4
the A.trributes of God meet together, and kifs each other;
and hence true fellowfhip with God, and with the faints^
are both declared to be in and through Chrift Jefus,
i John i. 3. That -which we have heard and feen, declare
■we unto you, that ye may have feliovjjhip -with us: And
truly our felbwfbip is ayitb the Father a id -with his Son
€hri/i. The harmony of the Attributes of God in Chrift,
is the fountain of all the harmony among the faints: The
little harmony that takes piac: among them in our day,
a.vJ the rarity of holy fellowthip meetings, flows from
