OR, A GUIDE TO THE PERPLEXED. BY ROBERT PHILIP, OF MABERLY CHAPEL. "I SHOULD know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary." FOURTH EDITION. ISAIAH. LONDON: THOMAS WARD AND CO. 27, PATERNOSTER ROW. PREFACE. THE following simple, and almost conversational Essays, are the substance of actual conversations with the Perplexed. In the Preface to the First Edition it was said, "How far they will meet the case of that class, at large, the Author does not venture to conjecture." Conjecture is now needless; they have proved a "Guide" to many. It would evince ingratitude to God, if not insensibility, to conceal this pleasing fact. To his Fathers and Brethren, who have adopted the "Guide," as a manual to the Perplexed, the Author feels himself under great obligation. Their sanction is not the least cause of its success. And, as their sanction can be gained only to right principles, he relies on them to give that countenance to the fourth volume of his " Guides," which the great principle of "PLEASING GOD" deserves. NEWINGTON GREEN, 1834. |
