Introduction

EiciiAiiD Tbeffbt, the author of this volume, was an able minister of the English Wesleyan Connection. lie

joined the Conference in 1792, and for many years * most eloquent defender of the doctrine of Christian perfection.

An American edition of this work has never before Teen published, and yet it is one of the most able treatise the subject which has ever been written. Its arguments are clear and conclusive, its illustrations pertinent and convincing, and its references to human authority rich and varied.

We cannot allow a volume so rich in thought, so eloquent in expression, and so Christlike in spirit, to slumber in utter obscurity, especially in this age, when such productions are so eagerly sought, and so profitably read.

We commend the careful and prayerful reading of this volume to such as have lingering doubts as to the possibility of such an experience in this life. We are sure the honest inquirer will find abundant light cast on his path- Way; the skeptical, we are quite sure, will arise from its perusal with his doubts removed; while the humble seeker will be led into the full liberty of perfect love.
