London: PUBLISHED AND SOLD BY SARAH. HUNTINGTON, No.25,GRAFTON STREET, EAST; AND AT J. EDES'S, 2, NEWGATE STREET.1826.TO ALL SPIRITUAL MEMBERS OF THE CHURCH OF CHRIST.CHRISTIAN READER,IT being the earnest desire of many of my friends that the following work should be published, I have ventured to print it, knowing it to be the de-sire of my husband, before his departure, had it been in his power; but his pecuniary circumstances and long illness prevented it; and since his death, it hath also been deferred, through the difficulties and trying dispensations that it pleased my covenant God and heavenly Father to call me to pass through; but for ever blessed be his holy name, I have found him to be to me, what he hath ever promised to be, - a husband to the widow, and a father to the fatherless. But now I must inform my reader how this work came to the light: in October last a gentleman, of whom I knew but little, called on me; and during some conversation I had with him, he said that he had the whole of Mr. Huntington's works; but I told him that I had one by me that he had never seen, which was the substance of two Sermons taken in short hand; and when I had shown him the manuscript, he asked me why I did not print it, and I told him, that I had been so tried in Providence since my husband's death, that it had not been in my power; but that I did intend it at some future time; he then asked me what would be the expense, and when I had told him, he said, "I think you had better proceed with it immediately, and I will see if I can assist you." I have accordingly printed it, and I hope it will prove a blessing to those Christians who may have an opportunity of reading it. SARAH HUNTINGTON. G.
