I am sensible that the Title of this little Book will, to the Generality of People, seem too high a Flight; that it will be looked upon as the Effect of a fanatical Spirit, carrying Matters higher than the Sobriety of Religion requires. I have only one Thing to ask of such People, that they will suspend their Judgment for awhile, and be content to read so small a Treatise as this is, before they pass any Judgment, either upon the Merits of the Subject, or the Temper of the Writer.

""A Humble, Earnest, and Affectionate Address to the Clergy"" is a book written by William Law and published in 1856. The book is a passionate appeal to the clergy of the Church of England to live a life of true piety and devotion. Law, who was a prominent Christian writer and theologian of the 18th century, believed that many clergymen of his time had lost sight of the true purpose of their calling and were more concerned with worldly pursuits than with the spiritual welfare of their congregations.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which addresses a different aspect of the clergy's duty and responsibility. Law begins by discussing the importance of personal holiness and the need for the clergy to set a good example for their parishioners. He then goes on to talk about the importance of preaching the Gospel with sincerity and conviction, and of living a life that is consistent with the teachings of Christ.Throughout the book, Law emphasizes the importance of humility, sincerity, and love in the life of a Christian, and he encourages the clergy to cultivate these virtues in themselves and in their congregations. He also provides practical advice on how to live a life of piety and devotion, including the importance of prayer, meditation, and self-examination.The book concludes with a short account of Law's own life and character, which serves as a model for the kind of life he is encouraging the clergy to live. Overall, ""A Humble, Earnest, and Affectionate Address to the Clergy"" is a powerful and inspiring call to all Christians, but especially to those in positions of leadership, to live a life of true devotion to God and to serve their fellow human beings with love and humility.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
