Excerpt from The Communicant's Manual, or a Series of Meditations Designed to Assist Communicants in Making Preparation for the Lord's Supper
The Author, in preparing for the Holy Supper, has, for many years, been in the habit of conducting his private unwritten meditations, in a manner somewhat like the form adopted in these meditations. Recently it occur red, that a series of written Meditations on appropriate topics, might assist communicants who are unskilful in the art of private meditation. Relying, therefore, upon Divine aid, and humbly hoping for the blessing of the great Head of the Church, on his attempt to edify some of the members, he undertook the work.
He has written nineteen meditations, to be used before the communion; one, at the Holy Supper; and nine, after the communion. To all, except one, he has appended short prayers.
To read devoutly a Meditation will require from eight to ten minutes, and a prayer, from two to three.
