THE

ENGLISH PULPIT;

COLLECTION OF SERMONS

BY THE

MOST EMINENT LIVING DIVINES

OF

ENGLAND.

"I wish the majesty of the pulpit were more looked to; and that no sermons were offered from thence, but such as should make the hearers both the better and wiser; the more knowing, and the more serious."-Bishop Burnet.

"I love a serious preacher, who speaks for my sake, and not for his own; who seeks my salvation, and not his own vain-glory. He best deserves to be heard who uses speech only to clothe his thoughts, and his thoughts only to promote truth and virtue."
