Excerpt from A Gospel Glass Representing the Miscarriages of English Professors: Or, a Call From Heaven to Sinners and Saints, by Repentance and Reformation to Prepare to Meet God For many years past, I have been accustomed 'to set a high value upon; Mr. Stuckley's Gospel Gms. 1 find try-notes in the, margin of my copy, that my dear and honoured father began to read it, with much attention, in theyear 1745, andgave it to me in 177k Iumyyouth,1 have often employed it.in private, as a very valuable assistmat in the duty of self-examination, tasted frequently read parts of it to my friends, or re commended it to their perusal. Of late years, my numerous evocatioae have prevented my looking into, it so often. However, I have no suspicion that my general idea of the work would be at all altered, by the most careful examina tion though I dare say, a few expressions would, in the present day, appear rather low and ludi croas. 'candour, indeed, would make an allow ance for the change of language and taste in a hundred and fifty years but I well remember wishing, that in case of its re-publication, two or three of the coarsest phrases might be changed.
