PREFATORY NOTE BY THE EDITOR
Epistles Dedicatory.

SERMON.-"A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet upon Shigionoth. O LORD, I have

heard thy speech, and was afraid: O LORD, revive thy work in the midst of the

years, in the midst of the years make known; in wrath remember mercy. God

came from Teman, and the Holy One from mount Paran. Selah. His glory

covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise. And his brightness

was as the light; he had horns coming out of his hand : and there was the hiding

of his power. Before him went the pestilence, and burning coals went forth at

his feet. He stood, and measured the earth: he beheld, and drove asunder the

nations; and the everlasting mountains were scattered, the perpetual hills did

bow: his ways are everlasting. I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction: and

the curtains of the land of Midian did tremble. Was the LORD displeased

against the rivers? was thine anger against the rivers? was thy wrath against

the sea, that thou didst ride upon thine horses, and thy chariots of salvation?

Thy bow was made quite naked, according to the oaths of the tribes, even thy

word. Selah. Thou didst cleave the earth with rivers."-HAB. iii, 1–9.
