This solemn and searching treatise was first published in 1674, a copy of which is in the Editor's possession. The author s object is to correct some fatal errors which then peculiarly abounded, and to recommend the gospel in its purity to the acceptance of his fellow-sinners. Possessing that inward peace, serenity, happiness, and safety, arising from a scriptural knowledge of Christ and him crucified, he proclaims, I have ventured my own soul thereon with gladness, and if all the souls in the world were mine, I would venture them all. His prayer is that others may receive the same light and life by faith.
