To all my Christian Friends and Acquaintance; the INHABITANTS of SALEMVILLAGE. Christian Friends, The Sermon here presented unto you, was Delivered in your Audience; by that Unworthy Instrument, who did formerly spend some Years among you, in the Work of the Ministry, tho' attended with manifold Sinful Failings and Infirmities, for which I do Implore the Pardoning Mercy of God in Jesus Christ, and Intreat from you the Covering of Love: As this was prepared, for that Particular Occasion, when it was delivered amongst you; so the Publication of it, is to be particularly recommended to your Service. My Hearts Desire, and continual Prayer to God for you. ALL is, that you may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus Christ, and accordingly that all means he is using with you, by Mercies and Afflictions, Ordinances and Providences, may be sanctified, to the building you up in Grace and Holiness, and preparing you for the Kingdom of Glory. We are told by the Apostle, Acts 14. 22. That through many Tribulations, we must enter into the Kingdom of of God. Now since (besides your share in the common Calamities, under the Burthen whereof this poor People are groaning at this time) the Righteous and Holy God hath been pleased to permit a sore and grievous Affliction to befall you, such as can hardly be said to be common to Men viz. By giving Liberty to Satan, to range and rage amongst you, to the Torturing the Bodies, and Distracting the Minds of some of the visible Sheep and Lambs of the Lord Jesus Christ. And (which is yet more astonishing) he who is THE ACCUSER of the Brethren, endeavours to introduce as Criminal, some of the visible Subjects of Christ's Kingdom, by whose sober and godly Conversation in times past, we could draw no other Conclusions than that they were real Members of HIS mystical Body, representing them, as the Instruments of his Malice, against their Friends and Neighbours.
