N. B. The most of thefe DISCOURSES confift, each, of
feveral Sermons. But the Rev. Author wrote bis Ma-
nuscript continuedly, without numbring the Sermons, or
diftinguishing them by any Note or Mark, whereby we
might know when one ends, and another begins, in the
general Difcourfe on any Verfe or Claufe. So that no fucb
Divifion (which wou'd have been convenient, especially in
Some of the longer Difcourfes) cou'd be made with any
Certainty. However, it's fuppos'd, the Reader may ge
nerally come to a Pause, at every 20th Page, or under.-
And, in Juftice to the Rev. Author, it seems requifite to
obferve, that fome "feparate Papers," refer'd to in
Jundry Parts of his Manufcript, and probably used in the
Preaching, did not accompany the Copy to the Prefs :
which may partly account for the great Brevity of one or
two of the Difcourfes, an fome rish and copious Texts.
