Familiar Discourses on the Way of Salvation
Hezekiah North Woodruff
According to the Introduction, the 30 sermons in this collection “were originally delivered to the Church and Congregation, in Elmira, Tioga County, N. Y.” They were “written with care, and diligent study,” with “a remote view to publication.” Woodruff believed, however, “that they are composed of thoughts, and expressed in words; not so much ‘those, which man’s wisdom teacheth, as those which the Holy Ghost teacheth, comparing spiritual things with spiritual’” (p. 5).

Information on Woodruff’s life and work has proven difficult to find. According to “The Records of the Middle Association of Congregational Churches of the State of New York 1806-1810”, he was born in Connecticut, educated at Yale, and ordained in Stonington, Connecticut in 1789. He later moved to New York, becoming a pastor in Scipio in 1804. At some point, he went to the Appalachian part of the state, taking up another pastorate in the Tioga County town of Elmira.
