The author hopes that all well-disposed persons will excuse the
imperfections they may meet in this Address. It is the first time of his
appearance in print, and may be the last. Nor would he have attemped it
now, were it not for the very peculiar situation he is in, and the hope he
entertains, that his feeble, but he trusts, sincere, attempt, may, by the
blessing of God, be made useful to those unhappy persons, with whom he is
so nearly connected, and for whose salvation and happiness he is so deeply
concerned.

And he returns his most sincere and hearty thanks to true Christians of
every denomination, for their kind remembrance of him at the throne of
grace. He still hopes, because he still needs, a continuance of their
fervent prayers to God for him, that he may be indued with those gifts,
and with that wisdom, zeal, and faithfulness which are so needful to
direct, support, and strengthen him--and may be favoured with more
manifold and abundant success in that arduous, trying, yet honourable, and
at times he can say, pleasant and delightful work, in which he is engaged.
