ABSTRACT
MR. Clement, said Mr. Fenton, I am singularly obliged and instructed by your story. The incidents of your life have been very extraordinary, and have been evidently accompanied by the controul and attention of a peculiar providence. The same providence is, undoubtedly, with, and over all his works; though we are not willing to admit him in what we call common occurrences, and which, we think, we can account for without his interposition. But, in the passages of your story, we fee Omnipotence walking along with you, step for step; by sudden successes, by calamities as sudden, compelling you to attend to him; wrenching every other prop and support from your dependence, shutting every other prospect and resource from your sight; and never forsaking you, in weal or in woe, till he had fully convinced you of his fellowship and regard; and had reconciled you to the bitterest of the dispensations of your Creator.
