THE following is the original title more at large; which the editors
are disposed to preserve, as it contains a more particular exhibition of
the nature and design of the work. How suitable the work itself is, in reference
to the present state of things, we leave to the reader's own reflection.
"An HUMBLE ATTEMPT to promote an explicit agreement and
visible union of God's people through the world, in extraordinary PRAYER,
for the REVIVAL of religion, and the advancement of Christ's kingdom on
earth, pursuant to scripture promises and prophecies concerning the last
time,
OCCASIONED
By a late MEMORIAL published by a number of ministers in Scotland, and
sent over to America; giving an account of a certain CONCERT for prayer,
which has already been come into by many ministers and others in Great
Britain and some other parts, and in which they desire the general concurrence
of their Christian brethren every where.
CONTAINING
A copy of the said memorial with a more particular view of the affair
it relates to; a variety of arguments and persuasives to comply with the
motion therein made, for united and extraordinary prayer; and answers
to some objections
TOGETHER WITH
Seasonable considerations on the aspects of providence in many late wonderful
dispensations, and the present state of things in the church and moral
world; pointing out the fulfilling of the Scriptures, and the voice of
God to his people, in these events." |
