The will of a father submitted to. The duty of patient submission to every condition, which the providence of God, orders for the children of men. Enforced from the glorious pattern of the blessed Jesus, readily and cheerfully submitting to take the cup, which his father had given him. In a very brief discourse, made with a special regard unto a religious family, burying an only son. And at a time of much affliction in the neighbourhood. [Two lines from Psalms]
