In this difcourfe Mr. Romaine aflerts, that after the underftanding is enlightened, and the heart renewed, we have still no power to walk in the ways of holinefs, without the fpecial grace of the Holy Spirit, whofe guidance is neceffary every moment, and for every thought, and word, and work.-This is fufficient to characterize it.

In the dedication of this Difcourfe, to the parishioners of Harbury, we are informed, that the converfation mentioned in the title page, is confidently afferted to have happened on Thursday night, May 1.' The reverend preacher does not inform us, whether the fact was real, or counterfeit; it being no part of his defign either to confirm or difprove it.' How ever, he rightly judged, that a ferious call to repentance can never be unseasonable, and that fome certain times and circumftances are peculiarly advantageous to the execution of 'fome works, which, tho' at all times good, are not always practicable. To these purposes,' fays he, I have endea. ⚫voured to adapt the prefent occurrence, not building on any ⚫ fanciful notions, or difputable arguments, but on the fun⚫damental principles of reafon and revelation. The fermott is a fenfible and pious one. A nota bene in the title-page acquaints us, that the money arifing from the fale of it will be employed, with other donations, for the recovery of a falary belonging to the free-school at Harbury, which for fome years paft hath been with-held from it.
