Excerpt from A Discourse Concerning the Divine Providence

MY chief design in this following treatise, is so to explain the nature of Providence, as to reconcile men to the belief of it, and to possess-them with a religious awe and rever ence of the supreme and absolute Lord of the world. For it is very evident, that the mistakes about the nature of Providence are the principal objections against it, which tempt some men to deny a Providence, or so weaken the sense of it in others that they are very little the better for believing it. That a Divine Providence does govern the world, I have -proved largely enough for my present design in the Discourse concerning a Future Judgment, cap. I. 3, which I refer my reader to. But that this work might not seem to want a foundation, I have not wholly omitted the proof of a Providence, but have at least said enough to convince those of a Providence who believe that there is a God.

Rese�a del editor

Excerpt from A Discourse Concerning the Divine Providence

The publisher of the present edition of Dr. Sherlock's celebrated work on the "Divine Providence," feels assured that he need offer no apology for bringing it out at this time. The great importance of the subject; the unquestioned ability with which it is discussed; the fact, that for many years the work has been out of print, and the frequent calls that have been made for it, during his several years' experience in the book business, together with the high estimation in which it is held by the following clergymen, who have cheerfully furnished recommendatory notices, he thinks fully warrant him in presenting it before the public in a new and greatly improved dress.

Recommendatory Notices.

Rev. J. L. Read: - I heartily approve of your intention to publish "Sherlock on Providence." I read the work years ago, and have regarded it ever since as one of the most valuable theological works in my library. You have my best wishes for success.

Dr. Sherlock's Essay on "Divine Providence" has earned for itself a reputation amongst the pious and thinking both of this and the Old World. To those who have not had the opportunity or privilege of knowing its worth, it may be said, (to others it is needless,) that it is a most judicious, scriptural, and practical discussion of this difficult, but most delightful doctrine.
