Free-grace, maintained & improved. Or, The general offer of the Gospel, managed with considerations of the great things done by special grace, in the election and redemption and vocation of those who embrace that offer. And the illustrious doctrines of divine predestination and humane impotency, rescued from the abuses, which they too frequently meet withal; and rendered (as they are) highly useful to the designs of practical piety. : In two brief discourses; published at the desire of some, who have been greatly apprehensive of growing occasions for such treatises.

When we come unto our Lord JESUS CHRIST, He puts this Demand unto us; Matt. 1•.32. What will ye that I shall do unto you? We must render a fit Answer to this Demand. Our Answer must be; to this Purpose.
Glorious REDEEMER; I come unto thee for Atonement. Oh! Let me stand before God in thy Spotless and Perfect Righteousness! Oh! Let thy Intercession Save me to the Uttermost!
Our Answer must be more than so; It must have this in it.
Lord, I come unto thee for Instruction. Oh! Guide me in the Way of Peace! Oh! cause me to know the Things of my Everlasting Peace!
And there must be yet more in our Answer It must go thus far.
