requests granted.

But by what means can we buy these things?

— Just as we buy all other gospel graces. “Ho,

every one that thirsteth, come ye to the

waters, and he that hath no money; come ye,

buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk

without money and without price.” Isaiah

55:1. We thus buy by the asking; buy by

throwing away the worthless baubles of earth,

and receiving priceless treasures in their

stead; buy by simply coming and receiving;

buy, giving nothing in return. And what do we

buy on these gracious terms? — Bread that

perishes not, spotless raiment that soils not,

riches that corrupt not, and an inheritance

that fadeth not. Strange traffic, this! yet thus

the Lord condescends to deal with his people.
