PREFACE The favorable reception of these meditations by the reading public of the Netherlands was phenomenal; within four weeks the first edition was sold, and since then four others have appeared. The fifth edition, revised and increased by one chapter, is the one we offer in the English language. These meditations, before and after receiving access to the table of our Lord, derive their name from Hebrews
13:15, where the Apostle speaketh to his fellow Christians: "By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name."
