SERMONS.

PREACHED ON THE DEATH OF THE PRINCESS CHARLOTTE OF WALES.

EZEKIEL, xxiv. 16.

Son of man, behold, I take away from thee the desire of thine eyes with a stroke.

THESE are the words of God, addressed to the prophet Ezekiel-addressed on an occasion equally awful and affecting. God, resolved to punish the sinful and impenitent Jews for their multiplied transgressions, announced the approaching judgment by one inflicted on the prophet himself, which might stand as a memorial of the truth of the Deity, and a testimony of the resignation of his

servant.
