AN ESSAY ON MARRIAGE; OR, THE DUTY OF CHRISTIANS TO MARRY RELIGIOUSLY : WITH A FEW REFLECTIONS ON IMPRUDENT MARRIAGE S. ADVERTISEMENT. WE, the ministers of the Wiltshire Association, assembled together at Melksham this day, October 22, 1806-deploring the little regard of late years paid by too many professors of religion, to the Christian rule of marriage; and deeming it desirable that the attention of the public in general, and our own churches in particular, should be called to this subject, do unanimously request the Rev. Wm. Jay to publish some strictures upon it; and the more so, as he has already set forth a Sermon on the Duties of Husbands and Wives, which has met with great acceptance. Signed On behalf of the Association, GEORGE MANTEL, Chairman. CONTENTS.
