The Author's Determination to have relinquished his Charge BY THE REV. DAVID SIMPSON, M. Α. HE THAT BELIEVETH SHALL BE SAVED; BUT HE THAT BELIEVETH NOT SHALL BE DAMNED. SECOND EDITION. Jesus Christ. London: PRINTED FOR T. CONDER, BUCKLERSBURY, 1803. ADVERTISEMENT. THIS Work was completely finished, and on the point of being published by the Author, when death prevented him, in March 1799. His Executors, from motives not generally interesting, hesitated on the propriety of making the IVork public. His Son, Mr. D. Simpson, being now of age, and the Edition and Copyright belonging to him, he thinks it his duty to perform the intentions of his Father. The Author's resolution will be as highly applauded by some, as it will be condemned by others; and had he lived to put it into execution, there are but few who would not have lamented his resigning the sphere of uncommon usefulness in which he was placed. At the same time, the principles he had gradually imbibed rendered that step essential; and whatever may be thought of the measure itself, the sterling integrity, the manly fortitude, and the noble attachment to principle it discowers, cannot fail of exciting the highest admiration.
