Old Newton Vicarage, May 3, 1837.
THE Author sends out this Address with much reluctance, and only in deference to the kind and earnest expression of those who were most interested in it. He has made a few additions, which time did not allow him to give in the delivery; and he begs his dear brethren to receive it as deprecating all assumption of authority, and dictated only by an affectionate desire to “stir up” his own mind and theirs “by way of remembrance,” upon a few matters of primary importance to those who are charged with the high responsibility of the Christian Ministry.
