Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures on the Nature and End of the Sacred Office: And on the Dignity, Duty, Qualifications, and Character, of the Sacred Order About fifteen years ago, the Writer of the following sheets having been appointed to preach before the Annual Meeting of the Sy. Nod of Argyll, was led, by this circumstance, to cast his eye on such books as fell in his way, relative to the Nature and End of the Sacred Oflice. He was disappointed in not finding that any treated of the subject fully and in a distinct and regular manner. He thought it might be of use to the cause of re ligion in general, and especially to young di vines, to have the nature, extent, and impor tance of those duties which the ministers of religion are called to discharge, and of that character which they are called to bear, deline ated and exhibited in one connected View. With this impression upon his mind, he laid down his plan, and filled it up with the most important thoughts which occurred to him upon the different parts of it, supported occasionally by the sentiments of others on the same sub ject.
