THIS volume is complementary to another, published in 1871, under the title of “Sermons to the Natural Man.”
本卷乃是对另一卷的补充，那一卷于1871年出版，题为《对属血气之人的讲道》（“Sermons to the Natural Man”）。
In the earlier volume, the author aimed to address the human conscience.
在前一卷中，作者旨在直接触及人的良心。
In this, he would speak to the Christian heart.
而在本卷中，他要向基督徒的内心说话。
The former supposed original and unpardoned sin, and endeavored to produce the consciousness of it.
前者假定人仍在原罪之中，且罪未蒙赦免，并力图唤起人对这种罪的自觉。
The latter supposes forgiven and indwelling sin, and would aid in the struggle and victory over it.
后者则假定罪已蒙赦免但仍内住于人里面，并旨在帮助人在与罪的争战中得胜。
The writer has had evidence, both from this country and from abroad, that theological sermonizing and the close application of truth are not so unwelcome and unpopular, as they are sometimes represented to be.
作者已经从本国以及海外得到证据，表明神学性的讲道以及对真理的紧密应用，并不像有时所描绘的那样不受欢迎、不得人心。
This encourages him to hope that the present volume, which takes a wider range, and brings to view the experiences and aspirations of the regenerate believer, may find a yet larger class of sympathetic readers.
这使他有理由盼望，本卷因其涵盖范围更广，并展现重生信徒的经历与属灵渴慕，能获得更多同感的读者。
At the same time, the author is well aware that both volumes are out of all keeping with some existing tendencies in the religious world.
与此同时，作者也十分清楚，这两卷书在许多方面都不符合当今宗教世界中的某些流行倾向。
But these tendencies are destined to disappear, whenever the blind guides shall cease to lead the blind, and honest self-knowledge shall take the place of self-flattery and religious delusion.
然而，只要瞎眼的领路人不再引导瞎眼的人，诚实的自知取代自我奉承与宗教迷妄，这些倾向就注定要消失。
That this will happen, is as certain as that the Holy Spirit has not forsaken the world for which God incarnate died, but will, in His own way, again search and illumine the human soul, as in “the times of refreshing from the presence of the Lord.”
这事必然发生，其确定性正如圣灵并未离弃那位道成肉身之神为之受死的世界，而是必按着祂自己的方式，再次鉴察并光照人的灵魂，如同在“从主面前来的复兴时期”（“the times of refreshing from the presence of the Lord”）一般。
