"This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, SECOND EDITION. LONDON: PUBLISHED BY J. & A. ARCH, CORNHILL; ADVERTISEMENT. THE original of the following letter was occasioned by the request of a friend of mine, that I would furnish him with a selection of passages from the Holy Scriptures, on that most important and interesting subject-the christian doctrine of Redemption. Since, in the course of a private circulation, the letter has been found useful to some individuals, I am induced to correct and publish it, in the hope that others, who stand in need of the same kind of information, may, through the divine blessing, derive from it a similar benefit. LETTER, &c. &c. MY DEAR FRIEND, THE mercy of God in Christ Jesus is a subject which I have long been accus-` tomed to regard as superior to all others, in point of interest and importance. Conscious, in some degree, of the perfect purity of an omnipresent Deity, as well as of the corruption of my own heart, I rejoice in the assurance that means are provided, through which the stain of my sins may be washed out, and through which I may be accepted with favour by the Author of all true happiness.
