RECOMMENDING
A CHRISTIAN’S DUTY
MOST RESPECTFULLY,
To the Parishioners
ORTON ON THE HILL & TWYCROSS,
IN THE COUNTY OF LEICESTER.
BY THE REV. JOSEPH PHILLIMORE, VICAR OF ORTON ON THE HILL.
ATHERSTONE : PRINTED BY FLANDERS AND CO.
1814 .
Nothing can be of more moment to you, than living virtuously on earth, as the salvation of your souls in future is one of the objects nearest my heart.
May you practise this friendly admonition contained herein, being assured I wish no harm or evil to any part of the human race, but for the love of my Redeemer, and the certain hopes of mankind zealous in faith and good works being rewarded with perpetual bliss, which the wicked and the negligent in pure religion will not inherit, unless they be reclaimed, and walk in newness of life, like the good and faithful which will produce repentance, and forgiveness from past sins, is the only object of my addressing this small tract of religion for your future private and public conduct.
