[1 [v]]

An apology is necessary for the following dedication; as I mentioned in the preface, it was not intended, being not personally acquainted with the amiable character I have chosen for my patroness, when this sermon was composed. But all, who have the pleasure to know her, will applaud my taste, and say, my choice was judiciously directed.
