THE i R LI F f L V. LJ . re his work of Juttification as a Pofthumus , full of Wifdom , Doctrine and Pietie.' The Author had com- mitted the care of it to his very intimate and dear ac- quaintance, the Reverend and Learned Mr. J A Ni E S K o E L M A N, who, while he was alive, had the care of it at the prefs : but before the work was perfected, he was called home to his Matters joy , after he had faithfully ferved God in his generation.

And there- fore this excellent book was worthy to be printed, to be efeemed and loved amongtt the beft Treatifes upon this great and weighty Doctrine of Juftification.

I pray the God of all grace, that he would give the Readers the Spi- rit of Wifdom and of a found mind , that having, the eyes of their underftandings enlightened, they may know what are the great myfteries of Redemption, and may be found in the Faith in order to this fundamental point of * * ju-
