*[Transcriber Note: Within the text of this fine work by Clarke, I have replaced many "our" spellings, such as: labour, honour, neighbour, etc., with the more modern "or" spellings. Also, immediately to the right of some words or phrases, I have inserted within brackets a synonym, definition, interpretation of the sense, or an observation. Other than these changes, the text is quite the same as Adam Clarke wrote it in 1819. I highly recommend this treatise as very appropriate material for those who plan to enter the ministry. While indeed certain items within it belong to a different time and place than those of modern, American, prospective ministers, much of Clarke's advice is very relevant and much needed by them here and now.]
