Présentation de l'éditeur
Scriptures, after the strictest researches of an enhghtened and enquiring age, are still allowed by the wise, judicious, and thinking part of mankind, who are acqainted with them, to be the only books in the world which truly and fully shew the way of salvation to all those who take any serious thought about it. The Scriptures, upon the solid principles of truth contained in them, have the strongest tendency to improve and perfect human nature in every branch of personal and social duty, or to make mankind wiser and better in every station and relation of life. This effect they have produced, and will still produce wherever tliey are duly attended to. An attempt, if well executed, to promote the knowledge and practice of the truths they contain, must therefore be of real service to society; and though the attempt should fail, the undertaker may nevertheless enjoy the pleasure of an heart ready and disposed to do good, and all the candid part of mankind will make favourable allowances on account of the goodness of the design. With these views, the author of the following work offers it to the public ;who will find upon perusal, as will as by the following account of it, that it is a work entirely new, and differentia method, at least, from any thing of the kind hitherto pub Ushed. THEM ethod, in this work the several articles of re. vealed religion are ranged under distinct heads or chapters. The subject of each chapter is only mentioned at the beginning ol it; and the scripture account of the subject is afterward given at large,ina numerous collection of express and pertinent textsof scripture, with which the chapter is filled up. Care is taken to insert every article of revealed religion, and every express and pertmi-nt text upon every one, in order to make it full and complete.
