Excerpt from The Sunday Library, Vol. 4: Or the Protestant's Manual for the Sabbath-Day; Being a Selection of Sermons From Eminent Divines of the Church of England, Chiefly Within the Last Half Century; With Occasional Biographical Sketches and Notes

But, in the task of this selection, I have been influenced also by a feeling, which, as it would be hypocrisy to suppress, so can it never operate to my shame to avow. The publication from which the two ensuing Sermons have been chosen, was first pointed out to me by the friend of the author to whom the. Second volume is dedicated. That friend was the late Rev. Mr. King, rector of ivorthin, in Shropshire; a man of singular urbanity of disposition, and of considerable scholastic attainments; and with whom, in earlier years, I have spent many a cheerful and many a happy hour. He was both my warm friend and my near neighbour; and within his hospi table mansion I used frequently to associate with the amiable and learned author of these Sermons. The reader shall judge for himself of the relative footing on which the Bishop and his late friend stood with each other, by an extract from the concluding portion of the dedicatory epistle of the former to the latter.
