TO THE READER.
THE former Volume of Dr. Conant's Sermons Published by me in his Life-time has found such Acceptance, that it has encouraged those to whose care the perusal of his Notes was committed, to think of publishing a Second; of which I shall only say, That the Reader may be assured, not only that they are of that Reverend Person's own Composition, but also of the Number of such as He designed (were there occasion for it) for the Press.
