I have inserted many original Hymns, for which am alone responsible. I intended to have disti guished these by a prefixed or added mark, to ha screened them among my Friends, by the exercise their affection for me, from the rigour of criticism. hope, however, in such company as WATTS, Do DRIDGE, COWPER, NEWTON, TOPLADY, STEEL and other names of equal veneration and value, th may escape, by serving as a foil to exhibit, with sti greater lustre, the beauties of Poetry and the chara of Piety, to which, though they aspire, they have n as yet attained. That the present publication may, by the divin blessing, be made the means of instruction and consi lation to many, is the fervent prayer of Your affectionate Friend, For Christ's sake, R. H.
