A considerable portion of the Sacred Volume (as the Book of Psalms
and Canticles in the Old Testament, and a large part of the several
Epistles in the New Testament) is occupied with the interesting
subject of Christian Experience; and exhibits its character, under
different dispensations of religion, and diversified with an
endless variety of circumstances, as ever essentially the same. As
the same features of countenance and elevation of stature have
always marked the human species in the midst of the creation of
God; so an identity of feature and "measure of the stature of the
fullness of Christ" has, in all ages, and under every shade of
outward difference, distinguished the family of God, "as the people
that should dwell alone, and should not be reckoned among the
nations." This indeed was to have been expected. Human nature has
undergone no change since the fall. In its unrenewed state it is
still captivated in the same chains of sin; and, when renewed, it
is under the influence of the same Spirit of grace."That which is
born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is
spirit." The modern believer, therefore, when employed in tracing
the records of Patriarchal or Mosaic experience, will mark in the
infirmities of the ancient people of God a picture of his own
heart, "answering, as in water face answers to face;" and in
comparing their gracious exercises with his own, he will be ready
to acknowledge-"All these works that one and the selfsame Spirit,
dividing to every man severally as He will."
