Excerpt from Manual the for the Afflicted: Comprising a Practical Essay on Affliction and a Series of Meditations and Prayers Arranged

Suppose ye that the Galilaeans [whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices] were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things? Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem? I tell you, nay.

Sorrow is excluded from no circle; it is abundantly distributed, and it is shared in some measure by all. So long as there is calamity in the world, any attempt to alleviate it cannot be unseasonable; and in the hope, that he might present to some at least of those, who are "in sorrow, trouble, need, sickness, or any other adversity," suitable aids for meditation and prayer, together with topics of scriptural consolation, the editor was induced to undertake the present little manual. It consists of two parts: viz.: -

I. A Practical Essay on Affliction, including the Doctrine of the Holy Scriptures concerning the origin and design of afflictions; observations on the best preparation for afflictions and for the improvement of them, together with our duty on being delivered therefrom: and on the privilege and duty of prayer, especially in seasons of affliction.

II. Consolation for the Afflicted: or, a Series of Meditations and Prayers.
