                   The Counsel Given Them. — Buy of me, says


               the  true  Witness,  gold  tried  in  the  fire,  that


               thou mayest be rich, and white raiment, that


               thou mayest be clothed, and anoint thine eyes


               with  eye-salve,  that  thou  mayest  see.  This


               shows at once to the deceived Laodiceans the



               objects  they  lack,  and  the  extent  of  their

               obtain  those  things  in  which  they  are  so


               fearfully  poor;  it  brings  before  them  the


               necessity of speedily obtaining them. The case


               is  so  urgent  that  our  great  Advocate  in  the


               court above sends us special counsel on the


               point;  and  the  fact  that  he  who  has


               condescended  to  point  out  our  lack,  and


               counsel us to buy, is the one who has these


               things to bestow, and invites us to come to him


               for them, is the best possible guarantee that
