In what a pitiful light does your fcheme place our
Lord ! ,Why did he marvel at the unbelief of the Jews^ if
they could no more believe than a (lone can fwim ?
And fay not that he marvelled " as a man ;" for the
alfertion abfolutely unrfians him. What man evcir
wondered that an afs does not bray with the night-
ingale's melodious voice ? Nay, what child ever mar-
velled that the ox does not fly above the clouds with
the'foaring eagle ?"

The fame oblervation holds with regard to repentance..
Thtn he began, fays St. Matthew,,, to upbraid the cities
xtiherein mofi of his mighty works were (/o7ie,.BE cause they-
repented not. Merciful Saviour forgive us : We have ■
infulted thy meek wifdom, by reprefenting thee as
cruelly upbraiding the lame for not running, the
blind for not feeing^ and the dumb for not' fpeaking !.
