These have a great tendency
to engage the attention of men to the doctrines and rules that are taught, and
greatly to confirm and enforce them;
and especially when these bright examples have been exhibited in the same persons that have been eminent teachers, so that the world has had opportunity to see such a confirmation of the truth, efficacy, and amiableness of the religion taught, in the practice of the same persons that have most clearly and forceably taught it;
and above all, when these bright examples have been set by eminent teachers in a variety of unusual circumstances of remarkable trial;
and God has withal remarkably distinguished them with wonderful success of their instructions and labors, consisting in glorious events that have been in many respects new and strange.
