TO THE

SECOND EDITION.

THE Author of the following work, when he learned, that the three first volumes were out of print, and that another Edition was requested by the public and intended by the publisher, carefully revised them, and made such corrections, as ap peared to be requisite. These three volumes go forth accompanied with the two others which were recently printed, so that the whole work now becomes complete, in five volumes.

To the two first volumes are added several Sermons not before printed, which are at the end of the volumes, and are on such subjects as were deemed most interesting.

In the third volume, which embraces the whole Epistle to the EPHESIANS, there is prefixed to each Sermon an appropriate title, and to the volume itself a complete table of contents; and thus an omission, before justly complained of, is supplied.

The candor, with which this work has been received by the public, is acknowledged with respect. ful gratitude. It is hoped, that the work has been, and still may be, useful to the attentive reader. Inaccuracies of composition, candor will readily

excuse. If there be any material errors in sentiment, which, it is hoped, there are not, for these no excuse is requested.

The whole is commended to the blessing of God and to the serious attention of the readers, by the AUTHOR.

P. S. It is in contemplation to collect and republish, in a volume suited to accompany these, the Author's Occasional Sermons. If the design should be prosecuted, the Sermons will be revised and corrected.
