Excerpt from A Compend of Christian Divinity Law for the government of his children: the Penalties of the law, their Nature and Design; the Judgment of God, and the Judgment committed to Jesus Christ; Forgiveness of Sins, viewed in relation to the Scrip ture doctrine of Retribution; the Person of Jesus Christ, - his Mission, and the great and glorious pur pose of his mission; the Evidences of Christianity 1n the Gospel History; the Resurrection; the Sovereignty of' God and Moral Accountability of Man; Faith, Repentance, and the New Birth; and the practical Influence of the Christian Doctrines on the heart and life - all these subjects, in which are involved all the principles of faith and practice in revealed religion, are here consecutively presented, and variously argued, each being exhibited in its own distinctive features, and in its harmony with all the rest. I have been several years contemplating this work, and preparing different portions of it, as, from time to time, my other engagements have afforded me leisure. And now, having brought it to a completion, while I am conscious of the imperfections of its execution, I send it forth in the agreeable hope, that it will be the humble means of aiding many inquiring minds on their way to truth, to God, and to heaven.
