Thomas Boston’s Farewell Message to His Children

And now, my dear children, your lot is fallen in a sinning time, beyond the days of my fathers: and I am mistaken, if it issue not in a time proportionally trying, by “the Lord’s coming out of His place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity.” I obtest and beseech you, as you regard your eternal welfare, “save yourselves from this untoward generation.” See the absolute necessity of regeneration, the change of your nature, by union with Jesus Christ the second Adam; as it was corrupted by means of your relation to the first Adam fallen. Labor for the experience of the power of religion in your own souls, that you may have an argument for the reality of it, from your spiritual sense and feeling: and cleave to the Lord, His way of holiness, “(without which ye shall not see the Lord),” His work also, His interests, and people, on all hazards; being assured, that such only will be found wise in the end. If your mother, undoubtedly a daughter of Abraham, shall survive me, let your loss of a father move you to carry the more kindly and affectionately to her, supporting her in her desolate condition. Let the same like engage you the more to be peaceful, loving, and helpful among yourselves.

The Lord bless each of you, and save you, cause His gracious face shine on you, and give you peace; so as we may have a comfortable meeting in the other world! Farewell.
