PREFATORY NOTE.

The following is the first of Owen's posthumous Sermons. It was preached on the occasion of a fast, December 22, 16S1; and was published separately, in 1G90, with the subjoined quaint preface by Daniel Burgess. The latter was the son of an excellent Nonconformist minister, Daniel Burgess, who was ejected from Col- linburn, Wiltshire, under the Bartholomew Act, 1G62. The son was a somewhat eccentric but celebrated and much-respected preacher in London, — a kind of Latimer among the Nonconformists of his time. He died in 1713, and bis fune- ral sermon was preached by Matthew Henry : —

" To the Reader, — Upon the desire of some interested in the publication of this sermon, I have perused it, and do communicate these my thoughts concerning it.
