Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Matthew Henry's guidance describes how Christians can rightly
conduct prayers for private concerns and public occasions - for
centuries this has been a valuable source for believers. Writing in
the 1710s, the author reflected on his lifetime as a man of God who
had conducted many official ceremonies and events in his church.
The concerns of his congregation, many of whom experienced the
heights of joy and depths of despair that life offers, led Matthew
Henry to devise a methodology for praying to the Lord rich in
example. This method is intended to both respect and properly
consult the divine, and also give comfort to believers who are in a
state of distress or anxiety. Requests to God to fulfil a desire,
to forgive a sin, as well as communications of life. Simple prayers
of praise, wherein the Lord is given thanks for good fortune or
daily small blessings, are also detailed.
