THE CHRISTIAN REMEMBRANCER; OR, SHORT REFLECTIONS UPON THE FAITH, LIFE, AND CONDUCT Of A REAL CHRISTIAN

THIS little treatise is divided into three parts; the first of which relates chiefly to the word and work of God in the redemption of souls by Jesus Christ; the second, to the inward and practical experience of this redemption in the heart of the believer; and the third, to his outward conversation and conduct with others. The addresses to God, at the end of each part, may be read alone, or all together, in their order, as one prayer.
On this wide and important subject, the reflections, which might have been greatly multiplied, are brought into as narrow a compass as possible, being intended rather for hints to carry on the mind to farther meditations, than for full or exact meditations themselves. This treatise therefore is printed for the pocket, that the serious Christian may find it a little Remembrancer, with many short errands to his heart, which will neither encumber him to carry, nor fatigue him to read.
As the Author humbly believes, that he has had no other view in these reflections which have employed some of his solitary hours, than the glory of a gracious God and the edification of believers; he only requests, as one of the greatest favors he needs, that the pious reader will remember him, in return, before the throne of grace; that the (things, of which he has endeavored to put others in remembrance, may never be forgotten by himself, but be known, experienced, and enjoyed, by him more and more. The acquisition of many prayers on this account, from his Christian brethren, is of such value and importance in his mind, as would make him a far higher compensation indeed, than he has a right to expect, for these humble labors,, which need the mercy and favor of God, and the kindness and candor of every good man.
Not equal grace, by Paul obtain'd, Nor Peter's pardon I require; But what upon the Cross was gain'd By the poor thief, would I desire!
