Several Sermons
Upon The Most Important Subjects
Of Practical Religion.
By Rev. Hugh Binning, M. A.
From The Publisher To The Reader.
There are no sermons I know of any divine or pastor in this kingdom, that have been more frequently printed, or more universally read and esteemed, than the elegant and judicious discourses of Mr. Binning, which were published after his death, at different times, in four small volumes.
As there was a great demand for these valuable writings, about twenty six years ago; so these printed copies of them were compared with his own manuscript copy now in my hand, carefully revised, and then printed, in a large 4 to of 641 pages, by Robert Fleming, Printer at Edinburgh, in the year 1735, to which was prefixed a short account of his Life, chiefly taken from the large memoirs of his Life, that the Reverend Mr. Robert M’Ward, some time minister of the gospel at Glasgow, wrote, in a long letter to the Reverend Mr. James Coleman, Minister of the gospel at Sluys in Flanders, who translated Mr. Binning’s Sermons into High Dutch, and printed them fo the benefit of the Christian congregations in Holland and Flanders.
Some of the most memorable particulars of this great man’s life have been also published, anno 1753, by the reverend, learned, and industrious Mr. John Wesley, late Fellow of Lincoln college, Oxford, in his Christian Library, which contains about fifty volumes in 8 volumes of Extracts from, and Abridgments of, the choicest pieces of practical Divinity, we have printed in our language. It is prefixed to Mr. Binning’s Sermons upon the first and part of the second chapters of the first Epistle of John, in the 29th volume of that useful work.
It is my sincere wish, that all the readers of this book may be builded up in spiritual wisdom and goodness unto eternal life.
