The promised seed. A sermon preached to God's ancient Israel the Jews, at Sion-Chapel, Whitechapel. On Sunday afternoon, August 28, 1796

"HAVING frequently observed that some Jews attended my preaching, I was led to reflect on the present state of that dear neglected people. The more attentively I considered the matter, the more sensibly was my compassion excited, and the more powerfully were my affections drawn out towards them. At length my heart dissolved in pity; and I determined to preach to them on a subject, in which, I conceive, they are deeply interested. This I did: and multitudes of them, knowing my intention, honoured me with a candid hearing. The discourse itself I now publish; in compliance with the earnest solicitation of several who heard it; in vindication of myself from the errors and absurdities some mercenary printers and booksellers would father upon me in their surreptitious editions; and in hopes that the profits, arising from the sale of it among the Gentiles, will enable me to distribute the copies gratis to the Jews."
This is an edition of a classical book first published in the eighteenth century.
