IN A PARISH CHURCH IN THE WEST OF ENGLAND, IN THE YEARS 1833 AND 1834. BY A LATE FELLOW OF A COLLEGE IN OXFORD. OXFORD, PRINTED BY W. BAXTER : SOLD BY J. H. PARKER; AND J. G. AND F. RIVINGTON, ST. PAUL'S 1834. ADVERTISEMENT. SOME additions and many improvements would in all probability have been made in this volume, if the author of it had not been removed into a distant part of the country, before he was able to finish the course of sermons, of which they were intended to form a part. He is aware, that in whatever degree the public may consider them worthy of attention in their present state, they would have had a better claim to it, if he had waited until he might have found time to revise them more carefully; but as the immediate occasion for which they were printed required that their publication should take place with as little delay as possible, he has ventured to let them see the light almost as they were preached, in the hope that, by the Divine blessing, they may be productive of good to those that heard them, and to others into whose hands they may happen to fall.
