OLIPHANT, SOUTH BRIDGE, AND WAUGH & INNES, AND SOLD BY CHALMERS & COLLINS, GLASGOW; J. RANKINE, LONDON. 1821. PREFACE. The favourable reception given to the SACRAMENTAL ADDRESSES AND MEDITATIONS, published by the Author some years ago, has encouraged him to prepare a Second Volume, and to offer it to the Public. It was his wish to frame these now presented in such a way as to fit them for the general edification of Christians, as well as to direct and to impress them in the observance of the Lord's Supper; and for this purpose, he has enlarged many of them, by adding various explanatory remarks and practical exhortations. He has taken a wide range of topics, not only to give variety to the work, but to lead his readers to trace the connexion of the death of Christ with the other articles of our religion, and to bring the pious feelings and resolutions which are excited by them to the Communion Table. The Sermons which are interspersed, will be found, he hopes, to accord with the spirit of the work, and to have some tendency to promote its great object. viour with regard to the Comforte glorify me, for he shall receive of mi unto you," it is his earnest prayer Ghost may exhibit the beauties of C ter, and the wonders of his death to e may form in them the spirit, and im the blessings of the Cross: And if thes are blessed for leading any to the Christ crucified, as the wisdom of C power of God, for animating langui forting those that mourn, and promot dience, he will rejoice in the day of t he has not laboured in vain.
