Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Sermon Preached at the Funeral of Horace Cowles, Esq.: At Farmington, February 9th, 1841
Mark the perfect man and behold the upright; for the end of that man is peace. - Psalm xxvii. 37. The perfect man, in the language of the Scriptures, is the same as the upright. Absolute perfection is not found in men, belonging to the present world. Not only is their knowledge defective and their judgment erring, but their moral feelings and determinations partake in different degrees of their native sinfulness. Who can say I have made my heart clean; I am pure from my sin It is the blessedness of those alone who have passed the boundaries of this mortal state, to be spirits of just men made perfect.
