Excerpt from Gems of Piety, From the Select Remains of the Rev. John Mason: Recommended by Dr. Isaac Watts; Carefully Revised, With Additions of Poetry: The letters to his friends show the reader that the writer was always in heaven, and may teach him, upon every occa sion, to bring religion into his converse with his friends, whether by writing or speaking. Upon the whole, I cannot but conceive it to bea useful service to mankind, to have these papers spread abroad in the world; and that every occasion may be taken to support a sense of religion amidst the many temptations of this life. And if you imagine, sir, that my Opinion may be of any advantage, you have free leave to make this letter public as you please.
