TO THE READER.
IT was with no small Difficulty that the Author's Youth and Modesty were prevailed on to let him appear a Preacher in our public Lecture, and afterwards to give us a Copy of his Discourse, at the Desire of divers, Ministers and Others, who heard it. But as we quickly found him a Workman that needs not to be ashamed before his Brethren; our Satisfaction was the greater to see him pitching upon so noble a Subject, and treating it with so much strength and clearness as the judicious Reader will perceive in the following Composure.

A Subject which secures to God his great Design in the Work of fallen Man's Redemption by the Lord Jesus Christ, which is evidently so laid out as that the Glory of the whole should return to Him the blessed Ordainer, Purchaser and Applier. A Subject which enters deep into practical Religion; without the Belief of which, that must soon die in the hearts and lives of Men.
