Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Sermons
But sermons, it must be remembered, are not to be read, chie?y for the gratification ofa fastidious taste, but as helps to religious knowledge to the cherishing of de vout affections, and the maintenance ofan holy life. The very circumstance, therefore, to which we have alluded, may give to this selection an additional interest to the mind of the serious reader. He may learn here, how wisely the various providence of God in the appoint ments. Of prosperity or of adversity as the lot of indi viduals, families, or communities, may be marked and improved. 'for these great purposes, and as containing lessons of practical godliness, we cordially commend this volume to christians of every name. They will find here, not words of doubtful disputation, but of vital truth. And we are certain, that it will be the accomplishment of the most earnest wishes of their author, should they prove in any degree instrumental of diffusing among our church es and within our hearts, that spirit of evangelic love and charity, which pervaded his own.
