Excerpt from The Pursuit of Holiness: A Sequel to "Thoughts on Personal Religion," Intended to Carry the Reader Somewhat Farther Onward in the Spiritual Life A few prefatory words on the object of this little treatise, and on the spirit and method in which it is meant to be perused, may, it is hoped, enable the Reader to profit more by it than he otherwise would do, while at the same time it may serve to avert cer tain criticisms, to which the writer cannot but feel that, as a piece of religious literature, his work is justly exposed.
