Adams was not distinctively a doctrinal writer; but sound evangelical doctrine, according to the school of Augustine and Calvin, forms the basis of his writings.
亚当斯并非一位鲜明的教义作家；但他著作的基础是奥古斯丁和加尔文派系纯正的福音派教义。
Neither does he enter deeply into Christian experience; but perhaps no preacher ever excelled him in faithfully and vigorously, without fear or favour, or respect of persons, denouncing vice and immorality under all disguises.
他也没有深入探讨基督徒的经历；但在忠实有力、不惧不偏、不徇情面地斥责各种伪装下的恶习与不道德方面，或许没有哪位传道人能胜过他。
It is evident in every page of his writings that ‘in his eyes a vile person was contemned.’
在他著作的每一页都可以明显看出，“在他眼中，卑鄙的人被藐视。”
The reader will go to him in vain for expositions of Scriptural texts, or for insight into the deeper workings of the Christian heart; but not in vain for a hearty appreciation of all that is good, and as hearty a denunciation of all that he considered to be evil.
读者若要在他的书中寻找经文的释经，或对基督徒内心深层运作的洞见，将会徒劳无功；但若要寻找对一切良善的衷心赞赏，以及对他所认为的一切邪恶的衷心斥责，则绝不会徒劳。
His extant writings are all to be given in this series, with the exception of his Commentary on the Second Epistle of Peter, which was reprinted not long ago.
他现存的著作都将收录在本系列中，唯独他对《彼得后书》的注释除外，因为那部书不久前才重印过。
The style of Adams, though frequently disfigured by what I must be permitted to call wretched puns and conceits, is exceedingly lively and racy; sometimes rising into pure eloquence, always clear, vigorous, spirited; a style that, in these days, would be deemed more suitable to our light periodical literature, than to the conventional formalities of the pulpit.
亚当斯的文风，虽然常被我必须称之为拙劣的双关语和奇思妙喻所破坏，但却极其生动活泼；有时升华为纯粹的雄辩，总是清晰、有力、精神饱满；这种风格在今天会被认为更适合我们的轻期刊文学，而非讲坛的传统礼仪。
Every reader who can appreciate genuine English manliness, decided sentiments, and frankness in expressing them, will receive a rich treat in the perusal of the works of Thomas Adams.
每一位能欣赏纯正英国式刚毅、坚定的情感以及坦率表达的读者，在研读托马斯·亚当斯的作品时，都会得到丰富的享受。
He has been styled the Shakspeare of the Puritans; and a claim may be laid to the compliment, as the fertility of his imagination, and his intimate acquaintance with human nature in its graver and lighter moods, are frequently evinced with a power which warrants the comparison.
他被称为清教徒中的莎士比亚；这一赞誉并非无稽之谈，因为他想象力的丰富，以及他对人性在庄重与轻松状态下的深刻了解，经常以一种足以证明此比喻恰当的能力表现出来。
It only remains to explain that Adams was in the exercise of his ministry while the Authorised Version of the Bible was in preparation.
只剩下一件事需要解释，即亚当斯履行事工时，钦定版圣经尚在筹备中。
He occasionally refers to it as ‘the new translation;’ but does not seem to have habitually made use of it.
他偶尔称之为“新译本”；但似乎并未习惯性地使用它。
In some cases his argument depends upon readings of texts different from that in that Version.
在某些情况下，他的论证依赖于不同于该译本的经文读法。
It will also be noticed that he quotes the Apocrypha with the same freedom with which he quotes the canonical books.
读者还会注意到，他引用次经（Apocrypha）时的自由度，正如他引用正典书卷一样。
It will be seen from the address ‘to the Candid and Ingenious Reader,’ that the sermons collected by Adams, and published by him in one folio volume, had previously been published separately.
从“致坦诚与聪慧的读者”的致辞中可以看出，亚当斯收集并以一卷对开本出版的这些讲章，此前曾单独出版过。
In their original form most of them had dedications prefixed; but, for reasons which do not appear, he deleted many of these.
在最初的形式中，大多数讲章前面都有献词；但出于未明的原因，他删除了其中的许多。
They will all be reprinted in connexion with his Memoir, as they are worthy of preservation on many grounds.
它们都将结合他的传记重新印制，因为基于许多理由，它们值得保存。
The sermons in this series are arranged according to the order of the texts.
本系列中的讲章是按照经文的顺序排列的。
This seems to be an advantageous arrangement upon the whole; but it involves the inconvenience, that in a few instances references are made to previous sermons, which in this edition occupy a subsequent place.
总体而言，这似乎是一个有利的安排；但它也带来了一些不便，即在少数情况下提到了之前的讲章，而在本版本中这些讲章却排在后面。
