Deuteronomy 1:3

I would beg the Reader yet further to remark, from the great

particularity observed, that it is not a thing of small moment

to notice, where, and when, and how, divine manifestations

are made to us. This memorable spot, this memorable time

and manner, no doubt were sweet to Israel, when Moses

halted in the journey to speak to the people once more in the

name of the LORD. And is it not sweet, very sweet to us, when

JESUS at any time, or in any place, arrests our souls in our

pilgrimage, to speak to us by the way, and to make known to us his loves? Song 1-8.
