Numbers 9:4,5

There is somewhat meant no doubt in the expression, that it was in the wilderness of Sinai, the passover was kept. And what more likely to be conveyed under the expression than this? that the blessings of Mount Zion, are most distinctly seen and enjoyed in the view of the threatnings of Mount Sinai. I mean, Reader; that the gospel salvation becomes doubly sweet and precious, when the soul hath been shut up under the condemnation of the law. JESUS is dear, indeed, to every poor sinner, in whose soul the iron of bondage, by reason of sin and corruption, hath entered. Romans 5:20.
