CHRIST’S TEMPTATION AND TRANSFIGURATION – TO THE READER – Thomas Manton

CHRIST’S TEMPTATION AND
TRANSFIGURATION

PRACTICALLY  EXPLAINED AND IMPROVED IN SEVERAL  SERMONS.

TO THE READER

THE following discourses on those important subjects of the temptation and transfiguration of our blessed Saviour, together with the sermons on the first chapter of the Epistle to the Colossians, from the fourteenth to the twenty-first verse, having been carefully perused, and transcribed from the reverend author’s own manuscripts, are now, at the earnest request of divers persons that were the happy auditors thereof, offered to public view. Had the author lived to publish these himself, they had come forth into the world more exact; but yet as they are now left, I doubt not but they will be very acceptable to all that have discerning minds, for the peculiar excellency contained in them.

Thus much was thought necessary to be said by way of preface, the work sufficiently commending itself, especially coming from , such an author as Dr. Manton.
