Christs eternal existence, and the dignity of his person asserted and proved in opposition…

Here are presented to thy view, some of the further profitable and pious Labours of that eminent Divine Dr. Manton; (now with God): who though like a Tree full of fruit, he has already yielded much fruit, yet still more and more falls from him. Since his much to be lamented Death, two very large Volumes (with some lesser) of his Sermons, have been published; which give a clear discovery to the World of his great Abilities for, and great diligence in, the Office and Work of the Ministry. Now this small piece succeeds; which in comparison of ⟨image 3⟩the former, is but a poor Stripling, but as the shaking of an Olive Tree, as the gleaning Grapes when the Vintage is over. Yet let it not be rejected or slighted upon that account; for though 'tis not so bulky as they, yet (according to its proportion) 'tis of equal value, and shows the same Head and Heart which they do.

My Pen, (upon this opportunity,) would fain be launching forth into the commendation of the worthy Author, but I will not suffer it; considering, how little he needs that from any, and how much he is above it as from me. Neither will I suffer it to run out in the commending of these Sermons; for I hope, to impartial and judicious Readers they will commend themselves, (the best way of commending.) I only recommend them, as judging them worthy of the perusal
