To conclude, let us, with humble thankfulness, behold that remarkable work of grace which I trust God is carrying on in this town and other places; and be encouraged to seek the Lord more earnestly, that his kingdom may come with power, by the more plentiful effusions of his Holy Spirit; and that the Lord would rebuke Satan in all his attempts to hinder or reproach this work, and bruise him under our feet. Let us bless God for his Spirit and grace manifested in and with his servants that have preached the gospel among us, and for the great success which has attended their painful labors. However, let us not have men's persons in admiration because of advantage; but remember that word, So, then, neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth: but God that giveth the increase. 1 Cor. 3: 7. And, accordingly, let the glory be given to the God of all grace.
