PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION.

DEAR READER,

If thou hast tasted that the Lord is gracious, and art pleading the promises, to thee this little Book will be acceptable; and if thou knowest what a suitable promise is worth in the hour of darkness or temptation, thou wilt set a sufficient value on it, and it will be to thee as the Grapes of Eschol, for all things are yours, and you are Christ's, and Christ is God's; the blessings of heaven from above and of the deep from beneath; the precious things brought forth by the sun and under the influence of the moon; the chief things of the ancient mountains of the earth as far as is needful for thee here, and the precious things of the everlasting hills of Paradise hereafter. Deut. xxxiii. 13, 14, 15.
