On Looking Back to Original Condition
Genesis 1:2
And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep…


The best way to judge of things aright is to consider them in their first original.

1. To bring down our pride.

2. To quicken our endeavours.

3. To fill our mouths with praises to Him that made us what we are, and might have continued, without His free and infinite mercy.

(J. White.)
