Usai PREFACE, If Imay express the subsfance of it in a few words, it ié this: Ií seetris to me to bè plainly and evidently revealed in scripture, " That both the Sod and theHolyGhost have such a communion in the trueand eternal Godhead, as to have the same names, titles, attribdtes and operations ascribed to:them, whichare elsewhere assribed to the Father, andwhich belong only to the tree God: Andyet that there is such a plain distinction between them, as is suf- ficient to support their distinct-personal characters á'nd offices in the great work of our salvation." And this is'whathas been generally called the Trr- nitarias.Doctrine, erthe doctrineof Three Persons and one God. At theendof the latter sermons I have endeavonted foassist christiansrih thedevout collectionof what they hear or read in a way of pious converse with their own hearts;and With God. Inmost of those meditations,' the reader will find theprincipal headsof the foregoing sermons rehearsed'. Where the sermons are too Iong to be read in a family at once, I havé marked out proper 'tenses, that the religious service may notbe made tedious. 'May the great God vouchsafeto send his own Almighty Spirit, wheresoever' his providence shall dispersethese weak labours of mine in the wörld;and attendthem withhis sovereign power and blessingfor the welfareof immor= tod souls" Amen:
