And, Oh that I could rouse the sluggish, and startle the careless Christian! 'Tis heart-work I shall this day attempt. And therefore be it known to you (that your expectations may not be frustrated) be it known to every one of you, that come rather to see a Sermon, then to hear a Sermon; rather to be tickled with notions, then wounded with convictions; I have nothing will please such curious hearers.
