THOMAS TULLY CRYBBACE, A. M. AUTHOR OF AN ESSAY ON THE EXTENT OF HUMAN AND DIVINE AGENCY IN THE PRODUCTION OF SAVING FAITH.' REESE LIBRARY OF THE WAUGH AND INNES. M. OGLE, GLASGOW; W. CURRY, JUN. & CO. DUBLIN; JAMES DUNCAN, M.DCCC.XXIX. REESE LIBRARY UNIVERSITY CALIFORNIA TO THE REV. THOMAS CHALMERS, D. D. PROFESSOR OF THEOLOGY IN THE UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH. REVEREND SIR, In having the honour to inscribe to you the following Essay, I will not distress you with the impertinence of admiration and eulogy. "By the grace of God I am what I am," is not more the principle of your theology than the sentiment of your heart; and while the sentiment suppresses all seeking of honour from men on the one hand, the principle should surely check all tendency to hold men's persons in admiration on the other, and awaken rather a sympathetic feeling of gratitude to Him who, as the God of nature or of grace, is the author of all that is excellent and admirable in human character. |
