the subject in a detached form, into their hands. CHARNOCK indeed has written on it in his usual superior way; but it is only to be met with in his large folio among other subjects, and his manner of treating on it, is very different from the present Essay; that being more adapted to account for and oppose outward and gross fidelity, this to describe its operations and effects in renewed souls. in The reader will probably discern sometimes a recurrence of a thought before expressed somewhat in the same form; but this he trusts will be readily excused, with other defects, by a candid public, when he assures them that in general not more than a page or two was written at one time, and that, occasionally, weeks intervened before he could proceed, owing to his time being much occupied in the various duties of his pastoral office. The writer's aim not being to meet the objections of those who avowedly reject revelation, but to confine himself to those, who, though awakened to the importance of religion, are met at every step they take by the entanglements of unbelief, should any thing here advanced promote their encouragement to press forward for the prize of the christian's high calling, and to establish believers in their most holy faith, the end earnestly desired will be answered. That God may deign to bless the attempt, is the prayer of the reader's well wisher, HENLEY, OXON. April 10, 1811. J. C. SUBSCRIBERS' NAMES. Adams, Miss S.
