Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hymns and Poems, Vol. 2 of 2: Doctrinal and Experimental, on a Variety of Subjects, Designed for Those Who Know the Plague of Their Own Heart, and Are Fully Persuaded That Salvation Is Entirely of Grace Courteous Reader, As nothing is more common, than when we take up a new Publication, to cast our first glance to the Preface; so, by entering into the porch, we may form some idea of what we may expect in-doors. But, that my reader may not be disappointed, I take the liberty to say, that in this little work you will find no display of poetic genius, or flights of scholastic erudition; but a few plain unadorned verses, founded upon a Bible foundation, and such as, I trust, will be found evangelical, experimental, and congenial to the feelings of every poor self-emptied sinner, who feels the plague of his own heart. But if this book should fall into the hands of a self-conceited, self-saving, self-important pharisee, I am persuaded he will throw it down with disdain: but I entertain no doubt but this my second attempt will meet a cordial reception by the poor distressed sinner; for those precious truths that are a savour of life unto life to some, are a savour of death unto death to others; and that precious gospel, the best news that ever reached the ears of sinful man, is accounted foolishness, to them that perish; but to every one who is quickened by the Holy Ghost, and led to see their ruined state by nature, to such it is the power of God and the wisdom of God, to their everlasting salvation. Probably my reader may enquire how I came to send a second volume abroad, while my first is in great request? One reason is, because I feel so firmly persuaded that they will be blessed to some of the Lord's distressed and tried people: I have had many sweet encouraging testimonies from all parts of the kingdom, from many of the Lord's children, to whom my first book has been made useful and often been made a prop to the sinking soul.
