Sermons on Various Important Subjects Written Partly on Sundry of the More Difficult Passages in the Sacred Volume
years ago, in conversation, by a respected father [1], gave an opening to the writer, relative to one [2] of the following subjects, and occasioned his writing upon it. For the rest, he is conscious of having borrowed from no writer, except a few quotations, which are credited in their places. He doth not flatter himself that his co constructions of scripture will be universally received. Nor hath he a desire to dictate to others, or a wish that his own views only should see the light. The press is open to those who are otherwise minded. The author will read with pleasure, the different constructions of the candid and ingenuous. But should strictures of another description appear, they will be viewed with indifference, and treated with neglect.
