To the READER.
'TIS the Honour of the Evangelical Ministry, that it was principally instituted for the service of God, not as he is the Governor of the Earth, but the Lord of Heaven, and to prepare men by holiness for his eternal Kingdom. And 'tis an excellent favour of God to his Ministers, when their labours are eminently useful for this blessed end. This singular grace and privilege God was pleased to confer upon his faithful Servant Dr. Manton, whose life was spent in the most precious work of converting souls to Christ, and preparing them for the Celestial Paradise; and since his retiring from the world by death, his soul now enjoying the blessed rest above, yet he remains with us in what was most valuable of him, his excellent Sermons the productions of his holy mind and heart; and the Pen having a larger extent than the Tongue in communicating them, may be more beneficial to the Church than before.
