EDWARD HOARE, A.M. CURATE OF RICHMOND. * * * * * LONDON: J. HATCHARD AND SON. KINGSTON: SEELEY. RICHMOND: J. DARNILL & SON. 1846. * * * * * BY THE SAME AUTHOR. SERMONS ON THE SCRIPTURAL PRINCIPLES OF OUR PROTESTANT CHURCH.—PRICE 2_s._ * * * * * Richmond: PRINTED BY W. OFFORD, BREWER’S LANE. * * * * * TO THE PARISHIONERS OF RICHMOND, SURREY. THE following Lectures on the World, the Visible Church, and the People of God, contain the substance of three Sermons preached in the Advent season of last year. They were written, and even committed to the press with the full expectation that our happy connexion would long remain unbroken. But it has pleased God to open before me another sphere of labour, which I have thought it right to undertake; and you must now receive this little volume as a parting memorial from one who can never cease to take the deepest interest in your welfare. I should have preferred leaving with you something more characteristic of the general tenour of my ministry; something containing fuller statements upon the grand saving doctrines of the Gospel, such as the completeness of the atonement, the present, free, and perfect justification of every poor sinner that believes in Jesus; and the new birth as wrought by the Holy Ghost in the soul, and invariably accompanied by the fruits of the Spirit in the life. These are the truths which I hope have filled my sermons, and which I pray God may be written indelibly by the Holy Ghost upon your hearts.
