The publisher's advertisement states: 'This being a large Book, and not to be purchased by every one, it was thought not improper to publish, in a small Volume, some of the most Practical Discourses, which cannot fail to meet with a good Reception from all who wish for the Improvement of True Religion in themselves and others. It is to be observed, that the Texts quoted, are from the Doctor's Interpretation, which sometimes differs a little from our Translation.'
ESTC records a single copy in the British Isles (St. Andrews), and one further in North America (Peabody Essex Museum).
