CONCERNING THE SANCTIFICATION OF THE LORD'S DAY. WHEREIN THE MORALITY OF THE SABBATH, OR THE PERPETUAL OBLIGATION OF THE FOURTH COMMANDMENT AND THE RELIGIOUS. OBSERVATION OF THE LORD'S DAY, OR FIRST MANY SPECIAL DIRECTIONS AND ADVICES- SABBATH-SANCTIFICATION. To which are added, (BY WAY OF APPENDIX,) PROPER FOR FAMILIES. BY THE REV. JOHN WILLISON, Rev. i 10. I was in the Spirit on the Lord's Day. ALBANY: PUBLISHED BY J. BOARDMAN. G. J. Loomis & Co.-Printers. MR. JOHN BOARDMAN, I am much gratified that you are about to republish Willison on the Sabbath. It is an instructive useful book, which I wish was in every family. It vindicates the sabbath from the objections of INFIDELS, and with a divine blessing, will teach every CHRISTIAN how to KEEP IT HOLY 66 The reputation of Mr. Willison as a judicious and pious divine has long been established in the Christian Church. Of his many useful works, all eminently distinguished, by a vein of experimental and practical piety, that now proposed for republication is not the least valuable. The style, indeed, and the manner of arrangement, mark the period and the country in which it was written, and may appear somewhat antiquated: but all who revere the Lord's day as the great moral institute for the preservation of his name, truth and worship in the world, and who wish to sanctify it to the high and happy ends for which it has been ordained, will find in this book an acceptable and useful aid. It is with the utmost cheerfulness that we recommend it as every way worthy of the patronage of American Christians. ELIPHALET NOTT, President of Union College. I most cheerfully concur in the above recommendation. Pastor of the Baptist Church, Albany. |
