This clause contains a complete thought, and suggests to us a theme rich enough, large enough, to engage and reward our evening's meditation. It is proper, therefore, to single it out from the others with which it stands associated, and to make it the subject Of our discourse. And yet, in so separating it, we must not sacrifice the peculiar significance and the added impressiveness which it derives from its position, or the light which is cast on it by its companions. It is the last Of a series Of clauses, Of which each that precedes it prepares the way for it, and'by natural progress leads the mind toward it. And it is only when we view it at the head Of this series, as sum ming up and surpassing the previous clauses, that we precisely discern and wholly appreciate its Scope and meaning.
