Excerpt from A Sermon on the Epiphany: Delivered Before the Society for the Advancement of Christianity in Pennsylvania, at Their First Annual Meeting, in Christ Church, on the 6th of January, 1813
IT has been often remarked concerning the calling of the Gentiles, that the great event became distinct in prophecy, in proportion as the time of its accomplish ment drew near. The truth of this is especially evident in' the text. The book in which it is found, is the last in the canon of the Old Testament: and while it emits the dying glimmerings of divine illumination underthe law, there is with them a glimpse of the brighter illu mination, which was to succeed under the gospel. Hence it is, that the words read to you are an explana tory comment on the festival of this day, and ion the service in which it is celebrated by our church.
