salvatfon , in p&lience and self-oblivion , we may glory fhat such a sanctuary abides on earth for the spirit of holiness to dwell in . Such a family are God ' s peculiar people , and if their obedience to his commands will not avail to exclude the angel of chastisement from their abode , a milder presence will
soon follow to repair the devastation , and to whisper the gracious benediction , " Peace be to this house . " Peace will remain with , them , will rest upon them when they go out and when they come in ; when they lie down and when they rise up ; in the dwelling and in the field ; in the house of God , and in the intercourses of the world .
But to the single-hearted and the confiding only does God send his messengers of peace . They who hope to purchase the applause of the world by their resignation , they who govern themselves by the world's rule , they who regard not God while they speak of his dispensations , who harden themselves under his discipline and defy his visitations , they who cower before him in an abject spirit , and " tremble wrongly or too much , " till fear spreads an impenetrable veil before their eyes , may at length sigh in vain for inflictions

In cases where exact accuracy seemed to be of importance , I have preferred giving the names , and , as far as I could recollect , the words of my Htformant * . Should this narrative chance to meet the eye of the excellent Moderator of the Vaudois Church * or of any others of my friends among the Pastors , they will not , I am persuaded , think I have taken too great a liberty in publishing information , communicated in conversations . In so doing I
have only imitated the example of their warm friend and admirer Mr . Gilly , and of several other travellers who have visited them and published their accounts of lade years , and I could in no other way have so satisfactorily shewn , that the Protestants of the Valleys . of Piedmont have not barely a claim to relief under their present difficulties and privations , on the narrow ground of their sunnased accordance in doctrine and discinline with a particular of their supposed accordance in doctrine and discipline with a particular
sect , but thaty as the zealous advocates of Christian liberty in . its full extent , and aa firm maintainers and patient sufferers in behalf of those grand fundamental p rinciples on which the church of Christ was originally founded , and which ought to raise the Christian above all the littleness of party , they are deserving of the sympathy , the approbation , and the imitation of Protestant Europe ,
