PREFACE

TO

THIS

EDITION.

Vii

The

present

edition

is

printed, under

the

superinten-

dance

of

a dissenting minister, without

mutilation

or

abridgment,

from

the

best

quarto

edition

of

the Works,

published under the

care

of

Drs.

Doddridge

and

Jen-

nings,

which

are

now

equally scarce

and

dear.

We

shall

only

add,

that

the

largeness

and

clearness

of

the

type

will

recommend

this

edition

to

aged

persons,

to

whom

former

octavo

editions were ineligible,

either

as

being in

too

small a

letter, or

too

crouded.

Those

who

admire

elegant typography,

and

wish

to

encourage

the publication

of

the

best

works

in

a

suitable

dress

of

neatness

and

elegance,

will

be

grated

by

our

superior

edition in

royal

octavo

;

while those to

whom

aconomy

is

a

necessary.duty,

will

find

the

inferior

edition

perfectly

answerable

to

their

wishes,

whether

for

use

in

the

closet

or

the

FAMILY,

to

which

latter

purpose

most

of

the Discourses

are

admirably

suited,

though

by

no

means

confined.
