ADVERTISEMENT.

HE Editors think it neceffary to fignify,

TH

that the three Volumes of Sermons, now offered to the Public, are the laft of Archbishop SECKER's Works, which they intend to print. Of these, the fifth and feventh confift of mifcellaneous Sermons, not at all inferior, as they conceive, to the former Volumes. The fixth contains a Series of Difcourfes, on Scripture, on the English Liturgy, and against Popery; fome of which they once doubted whether it would be advifeable to make public. But feveral of the Author's Friends, who had heard them preached, and received great Satisfaction from them, were extremely defirous to have them all collected into one Volume, and added to the two others. This induced the Editors not only to give these Discourses a fecond and more careful Examination, but to fubmit them to the Perufal of a Person of high Rank in the Church and acknowledged Abilities, who thought them much too ufeful and instructive

to be fuppreffed: especially as both the Nature
of the Subjects, and the Manner of treating
them, gave
them fome Affinity to the Lectures
on the Church Catechism. On thefe Grounds,
the Editors now give them to the World; and
have little Doubt but that these concluding
Volumes will meet with the fame Approbation
which the preceding ones have received from
all Ranks of People.

It may be proper to add, that the nine Ser-
mons, on the War and Rebellion, published in
the Year 1758, by the Author himself when he
was Bishop of Oxford, which were out of Print,
and much fought after, are now reprinted, by
the Bookfellers, with the Addition of the An-
fwer to Dr. Mayhew, and the Letter to Mr.
Horace Walpole. This Volume, together with
the fourteen occafional Sermons, printed by his
Grace in 1766, the two Volumes of Lectures on
the Church Catechifm, one of Charges, &c. and
feven of Sermons, published fince his Death,
complete his Grace's Works in twelve Volumes
Octava.
