This work is the substance of many sermons on Matth. 25.1-13, wherein the difference between the sincere Christian and the most refined hypocrite, the nature and characters of saving and of common grace, the dangers and disease incident to most flourishing churches or Christians, and other spiritual truths of the greatest importance, are clearly discovered and practically improved. Due to the age and scarcity of the original we reproduced, some pages may be spotty, faded or difficult to read. Written in Old English.
