Instead of a religion of gloom mod perturbation and weakness, do we not there see a religion which enlivens, while' it calms and strengthens the mind, and in the place of dark despondency and feverish irritation, fills it with serenity and peace and heavenly conso- lation ; a religion which, placing in its true light the comparadye importance of temporal and eternal things, rectifies the corrupt bias that leads us too generally to prefer the for- mer to the latter ; a religion which raises th^ ...human aim to objects worthy of our best am- bition, and gives to the human character a dig- nity and elevation suited to the relation where- in we stand to God and to Christ, as well as to the hope of heavenly glory which a sense of the divine &vour naturally tends to inspire ?
'Who would not be content to be found, at the 137 etmiing ^ our Lord, in that frame of niind in which these Letters represent Cowper to have tived at the period of which we speak I Be* hold in him a lively example of that righteous** nesS) peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost, which constitute the kingdom of God in the hearts of men ; of that faith which ovei:comes the worlds and purifies the heart, and which realizing the presence, the providence, the wisdom, and the goodness of the Aln^ighty, in all his dispensa^ tions, however trying to flesh and blood, pro* duces a tranquil submission to the will of God, and a cheerful acquiescence in his appoint* tnents ; of that deadness to the world and to sin ; of that poverty of spirit; and of that fer- vent love to God and man, which arc the di^s* tinguishing features in the character of a real Christian.
