To the READER.
THE Ensuing Sermon was Preached some Years ago, at the Lecture in Boston. Many have handled this Subject under a Philosophical Consideration. Especially the Learned Barthol••us, whose Discourse F•c•ls al• that I have ••en. But no one that I know of, has in this way written Theologically upon it. For which cause I was the more inclined to this Publication; withal considering the Affinity there is between this & the other Subject relating to Storms. I have therefore •erked the Notes which one of my Auditor's took from me in Short-hand, and Consented the Printer should have them. I have Endeavoured to Express the Truth with such Plainness and Perspicuity, as th•• the mos• Ordinary Capacities (whose Edification I design) may understand what they Read. Although there is a Time when the Meditation on some Works of Providence is more Eminently seasonable, yet it is never unseasonable. The Summer is now come. Nevertheless, Snowy Weather will in due Time return again, when Cont•mplations of this Nature will be a proper Entertainment. If what is herewith Emitte•, shall Illuminate or Excite any in ascribing to God the Praises which are due to His Name, my Labour will not be lost.
