He went forth conquering. When Lis gospel was first preached and Christ'was believed on in the world. He took part of flush and blood, that thro' death lie might destroy him what hath the power of death i. ¢. the devil. When he ascended into heaven he sent forth his Iloly Spirityand his words went forth like arrows and pierced the heart, and vanquished the heathen, as the Prophet Habakkuk, speaks. "Thou did'st ride upon thine horses and chariots of salvation." « Thy brow was made quite naked." lls went forth to conquer (the cross Lis car of victory.) Never on earth was there such a triumph of light over darkness--or of rigliteousness over iniquity--~nor did the power of satan ever sustain such a shook as the time when the apostles of the Lord Jesus and all the first' preachers of the gospel went fofih to conquer a word Iving in wickedness, strong in the Lord and'in the power of his might ; they themselves fought as they taught others to fight the good fight of faith ; and as thé servants of Jesus conquering in, which till then had held the world in unredeemed slavery and unch:llerged dominion.
