Preface to the Fourth Edition
C/ZVCS the last edition of this little Treatise was published in Ireland, an authorized abridgement, which omitted various passages and the whole of Chapter IV., was published in london, and was widely circulated in England. This abridge?nent was entitled "An hiquiry into the Scriptural Form of Church Government,''' a?id was specially adapted for English readers.
The present edition is unabridged. The local allusions are understood in Ireland, and the se7itiments of Chapter IV. are as applicable to our circumstances at prese?it as they were in 1856. In view of it being stereotyped, the whole work has been again revised, and has received some alteratio?is at the hand of the Author. He ventures to cherish the hope that, in this its permanejit form, it may still continue to be of so?ne service to the Truth.
Some Ministers have already used it as a text-book in the Bible class, and in the higher forms of the Sabbath-school, the Author trusts not without profit.
