A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Sermons which could not otherwise have been obtained. The Publishers beg thus openly, both for themselves and on the part of their readers, to express their grateful acknowledgments of the valuable assistance which was thus kindly rendered, and which has thus made the edition in every respect complete. It will doubtless be observed, that there is not included a work under the specific title of Seven Sermons on Faith, which was first sent out with that designation by the Countess of Huntingdon, and which has since become a very popular book. This volume was made up of the first and last sermons of the work entitled, A Lifting up for the Downcast, accompanied with the three smaller pieces on the same subject which follow that work in this edition. It may be presumed, that as in that disjointed state it obtained so much approbation, the whole of the work, and indeed the whole of the authors works, of which it may be regarded as a specimen, will gain a still greater share of esteem. The Word to the Aged was published anonymously, and was also privately printed. Independently of the similarity of style and the circumstance of one or two similes being repeated in this work which the author had employed in his earlier writings, and which would be sufficient proof that it is a genuine production of William Bridge, it may be added, that in one brief biographical account of him, it is assigned to him without any doubt. A sermon entitled, Joab s Counsel and King David s Seasonable Hearing of it, was published in 1643, with the name, W. Bridges, Preacher of the Gospel at Dunstan sin the East, as the author of it.
