Excerpt from Select Sermons The Discourses which compose this volume, are pub lished at the earnest request of many who heard them preached with pleasure and with profit, and expressed their conviction, that, by the divine blessing, they were calculated to impress the truths of the gospel upon the heart, and lead sinners to Christ. If, in truth, they prove the means of converting one unre generate offender, comforting any mourner in Zion, or imparting light to any walking in darkness and per plexity, they will secure the great object for which they now appear before the world, and for which, we are persuaded, they were composed. In reference to the Memoir, it maybe stated, that it was printed before the solemn resolution was formed by so many ministers, of leaving the Established Church of Scotland, provided no adequate remedy were granted for their grievances.
