A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Mr, Edtuards left i7i MS,fcveral hundred fermons on do Hrinal and praciical Juhje Els, explications of above 500 texts ojfcripture, and ejfays on the truth and excellency of the Chrijiian religion the harmony of the Old and New TeJ lament, the divinity of Chrifl, the necejfity and reafonablenefs of atonement and of the imputation of merit, the eternity oj hdl torments, the foreknowledge of God, predejlination, univerjal and particular redemption, efficacious grace, jufiification, perfeverance, c. Though he had no defign to publiJJ i thefe in the form in which he left them, yet, in the opinion of good judges in America who have perufed them, they contain a variety of new and fir iking fenthnents, on viany important and dijicult fubje Cls, which might communicate to the Chriflian world much ufeful in Jiru Ftion When writers excel only infiyle and compofition, they can derive little honour, and the publick can reap fmall improvement, from the printing their loofe unfnifhed papers ;but important original thoughts, though not accurately methodized, nor adorned with the beauties of eloquence, well merit being preferved from oblivion. If fo much of the .A uthor spenetration and judgment appear in the following fheeti, written about twenty years before his death, much more may be expc Ued from compofitions in a period, when years, fludy, and experience, had greatly increaf ed hisjlock of knowledge. Whether the publifher fliall favour the world zoith any more of t Jiefe valuable remains, will probably in a good meafure depend on the encouragement this work meets with. PREFACE.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
