"I hope none will queſtion the following relation, when they conſider that ſome of the miniſters of Edinburgh, whole names are mentioned, were ⟨e⟩ar witneſs to ſeveral paſſages contained therein. ⟨H⟩ow precious and deſirable a thing is divine grace ⟨at⟩ death? Guilt breeds confounding horror and ⟨a⟩nguiſh: grace outlaſts the things of time: theſe ⟨ar⟩e ſick of conſumption: grace is incorruptible ⟨a⟩nd everlaſting. It is the effect of electing mercy, ⟨a⟩nd the ſeed of glory.---Chriſt is the fountain of communications, ſweetneſs love, and a ſcreen be⟨t⟩wixt believers and eternal wrath; and therefore ⟨a⟩ part in Chriſt is worth a million of worlds."
If this little book may conduce to the good of ⟨ſo⟩uls, I have my deſign and deſire, which, that the ⟨G⟩od of all mercy, and the Father of glory, would accompliſh effectually, in the prayer of him, ⟨w⟩ho is
Your ſervant in the
Goſpel and Kingdom
of JESUS CHRIST,
