INTRODUCTION


This text has been transcribed from the original by Fredric Lozo,Mathis, Texas, January 2005.

The original text was typeset using the convention of the AmericanColonial Period with a second "s" symbol resembling the letter "f"which makes reading somewhat difficult for the modern reader. The textwas thus transcribed using the modern single "s" symbol convention.

The original text was photographed and read with an OCR program andthen transcribed word by word. An attempt was made to proofread thefinal text for transcription errors and wherever an mistakehas not been corrected, the transcriber sincerely apologizes to thereader. As for the rest, the transcriber has endeavored to faithfullymaintain as much of the historical record as the ASCII TEXT formatpermits, including the original spelling and grammar. Page numberingwas omitted in keeping with e-book format conventions. The reader isencouraged to use the search feature of the text reader to locatechapters listed on the contents page.

The work was published by the son of Isaiah Thomas, who is known bothas the father of American printing, and as a Minuteman at Lexingtonand Concord in the War of Independence.

Some of the thoughts expressed in these sermons are a refreshingreturn to an earlier time before American religious denominationsbecame fixed in their particular "systematic theology."

Reverend Lee's language and logic give us a glimpse of the purity ofmind and soul that followed in the wake of desperate revolutionaryconflict and the tumultuous years following independence when thegreatest minds of the time formulated the American Constitution andThe Bill of Rights. These sermons seem to address the universal issueswith which men of all times and places have also struggled, in timesof peace as well as war. These issues are articulated here with aclarity that is perhaps only achieved in those times of great testing,tears, and tenuous victory that began in 1776 and that would remaintenuous until after the War of 1812.

Lee lived in a time of great intellectual pursuit and Lee's views oflife and the Lord's Providence seem particularly blessed withillumination through the Holy Spirit.
