Page:Christian's pocket-book, or, A bundle of familiar exhortations to the practice of piety (2).pdf/2

 HERE are many who either are not able to buy books of great price, or not willing to carry about with them books of great bulk; therefore, we have caſt into this ſmall portable Pocket-book, the following Bundle of Exhortations, which, we hope, compendiouſly contain the chief ſubſtantials of practical religion; which are of moſt common uſe, and that people ſhould moſt carefully mind, and be daily exerciſed in; We have adviſedly contracted matters into ſmall bounds, and expreſſed them in plain terms, ſo that we expect, none will grudge either the price they pay for this ſchedule, or their pains in peruſing it. We would not have the Reader ſatisfy himſelf with once reading, or viewing it over, to pleaſe his curious or critical fancy anent what is written; it is not the feeding of fancy which the Author deſigns, but propoſing duty, and exhorting to the daily practice thereof; hence we exhort you to read over theſe exhortations frequently, and to form your daily walk agreeably thereto: we wiſh God's bleſſing on your peruſal thereof.
