Excerpt from Devout Meditations: Or a Collection of Thoughts Upon Religious and Philosophical Subjects

Had we (what we can only have by a dia vine illumination of our reason, which I beg of my good God to vouchsafe me,) had we, I sav, true notions of God, and eternity, right notions of ourselves, and of the world, they could not fail to create in us thoughts full 01 humility towards ourselves, full of contempt towards the world, full of the high est adoration to aids; God, and full of ears nestness to acquire a happy eternity.

Rese�a del editor

Excerpt from Devout Meditations: Or a Collection of Thoughts Upon Religious and Philosophical Subjects

How shall I sufficiently thank you for the favour and honour of your very valuable present.

The Book of Meditations I have read, and more than once; and I shall never lay it far out of my reach for a greater demonstration of a sound head, and sincere heart, I never saw.

Dear Sir, I cannot but return to my favourite Meditations; for, in truth, I am fond of them. I think you was a lucky man in meeting with the manuscript; and I know you was a worthy one, by bringing it to tile press. The world is your debtor for it. My part of the debt I will pay, as far as hearty thanks will go towards it: and I wish I could do more. But I am surprised that the author's name is suppressed: for I know no name to which: that work would not do an additional credits and; why a man's modesty should rob him of his just honour, when, by that honour, his modesty can be no more offended, I know not. I wish you would consider this, with regard to future editions. I desire you, Sir, to insert mo in the list of your friends, for such I am, and such I am obliged to be by your unexpected and unmeritted favour.
