Foreword

For the benefit of the reader I here insert a few of John Wesley's suggestions on how to read a spiritual book. They are as follows:

1. "Assign some stated times every day for this pious employment. If any indispensable business unexpectedly robs you of your hour of retirement, take the next hour for it."

2. "Prepare yourself for reading by purity of intention, whereby you singly aim at your soul's benefit."

3. "Be sure to read not curiously and hastily, but leisurely, and with great attention; with proper intervals and pauses, that you may allow time for the enlightenings of divine grace. Stop every now and then, to recollect what you have read, and consider how to reduce it to practice."

4. "Let your reading be continued and regular, not rambling and desultory."

5. "Labor for a temper correspondent to what you read; otherwise it will prove empty and unprofitable."

Introduction 

While musing o'er the sacred Truth
Which God in mercy spoke;
Down in the chamber of my heart
These scatt'ring thoughts awoke.

While strolling 'long the sea of grace
One evening all alone,
I stopped and seized with great delight
This little pebble-stone.

While scaling Canaan's sacred hill,
'Mid flow'rs of ev'ry hue,
I stoop'd with heart aglow with love
To pluck this bud for you. 

While roving 'mong its vernal trees
With awe and wonder mute,
I picked from just a single bough
This tiny bit of fruit.
