SERIOUS AND CANDID PROFESSORS OF CHRISTIANITY.

MY CHRISTIAN BRETHREN,

PERMIT one who profeffes obedience to the fame Lord, and faith in the precious promises of the fame gospel with yourselves, to address himself to you with all freedom and plainnefs of speech, on fubjects relating to our common falvation. I need not tell you that the subjects are interesting. In reality nothing elfe is interefting, in comparison with them. For what is this world compared with the future! What is time compared with eternity! Believe me, my brethren, it is nothing but the deepest concern for the honour of a religion which is the most valuable inheritance of the human race, and which fets us above all the follies and vices, all the weaknesses and troubles of life, by giving us the moft folid hope in death, that has induced me to folicit your attention. But I am confident that you will not think it ill-bestowed, because it is upon a subject that is near and dear to you, and the confideration of which cannot but please and profit you.
