DEDICATION.

To our gracious Sovereign Lord GEORGE, by the Grace of God, King of Great-Britain and Ireland, Defender of the Faith-to all the Royal Family -to the Lords and others of His Majesty's most Honourable Privy Council-to the Great Council of the Nation-to the Nobility, Gentry and Commonalty of this land-to Magistrates and others in Authority, this Sermon is dedicated, trusting, that all in their respective stations, may labour to advance the Glory of God, and the present and future welfare of mankind; remembering that solemn account which they must one day give before the Tribunal of God. But for the sake of all, it is dedicated to the Clergy, whether Bishops, Priests or Deacons; that they, shining like Lights in the World, may adorn the Doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.
