Note (return) — Rev. ANDREW LEE, A.M. (continued 2)
Reading edition
Quite a different spirit is displayed in the history of the saints, whom we are directed to follow. All the worthies of old "died in faith not having received the promises, but seen them afar off."—The renowned leader of Israel "had respect to the recompense of reward" —yea, "the captain of our salvation," the divine son of Mary, "for the joy that was set before him, endured the cross, despising the shame."
