SERMON LV. OF SINCERITY TOWARDS GOD AND MAN.
OF SINCERITY TOWARDS GOD AND MAN.
[Preached at Kingston, July 29, 1694.]
Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile.—John i. 47.
WHO this Nathanael was, upon whom our Saviour bestows this extraordinary character, doth not certainly appear, his name being but once more mentioned in the whole history of the gospel: for certain, he was a good man who deserved this extraordinary commendation; and none but our Saviour, who knew what was in man, and needed not that any should tell him, could have given it, especially of one, whom he had never seen before that time: for when Jesus saw him “coming to him, he saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed.”
The whole book is in the Sphinx app.
