THE SAINT'S EVERLASTING REST;

OR,

A TREATISE OF THE BLESSED STATE OF THE SAINTS IN THEIR ENJOYMENT OF

GOD IN HEAVEN.

Written by the reverend, learned, and pious _MR. RICHARD BAXTER_.

Abridged BY BENJAMIN FAWCETT. M. A.

I think it of great service to the souls of men, to call them to the notice and use of such a Treatise as this; and to bring such old and excellent writings out of oblivion and the dust.

_Baxter's Preface to Scudder's Christian's Daily Walk._

PUBLISHED BY SAMUEL T. ARMSTRONG, Charlestown, Mass. 1811.

TO THE INHABITANTS OF THE BOROUGH AND FOREIGN OF KIDDERMINSTER. BOTH MAGISTRATES AND PEOPLE.

_My dear Friends_,

There are obvious reasons for prefixing your names to this Book. It contains the substance of what was first preached in your parish-church, and was first published from the press with a dedication to your worthy ancestors. Your trade and manufactures can never render your town so famous, as the name and writings of Mr. Baxter have already made it, both in this island, and in many remote parts of the Protestant world. His intimate and important relation to Kidderminster, and the years he abode in it, afforded him the most delightful reflection as long as he lived.
