MEMOIR

OF

THE LIFE OF THE WRITER.

Jesus saith, I am the way, and the truth, and the life.-

John xiv. 6.

Wherefore He is able also to save them to the uttermost,
that come unto God by Him.-Heb. vii. 25.

THE private estimation in which the following Letters have been held, has induced the belief that, by publication, they would be rendered more extensively useful. They were not written with any view to their being committed to the press; most of them, therefore, have been collected since the decease of the Writer, who very rarely kept copies of his letters; and it may be proper to remark, that his own language has been strictly adhered to.
