Sinopsis
The doctrine of sovereign grace is here maintained and handled in a practical manner. It has been my endeavor, in the following pages, not only to state and defend the capital truths of the gospel, in a doctrinal way; but also to point out their peculiar importance, as happily adapted to awaken the conscience, and comfort the heart; to elevate the affections, and influence the whole conduct in the way of holiness. However the doctrine of Reigning Grace may be decried as licentious, it is that very truth which God in all ages has delighted to honor; which the Divine Spirit has owned for the information and comfort, for the holiness and happiness of sinful men. Were I not fully persuaded of this, rather than appear as an advocate for it, I would condemn my tongue to everlasting silence, and my pen to perpetual rest.
Reseña del editor
Ter any apology to the Public, on behalf of the ensuing Treatise. For if the leading; sentiments adopted and defended in it correspond with the unerring oracles, I have no appreliensions from the frowns of men :and if not, it would be impossible, by the most laboured apology to justify my conduct. The doctrine of sovereign grace is here maintained, and handled in a practical manner. It has been my endeavour, in the following pages, not only to state and defend the capital truths of the gospel, in a doctrinal way ;but also to point out their peculiar importance, as happily adapted to awaken the conscience, and comfort the heart ;to elevate the affections, and influence the whole conduct in the way of holiness. To this edition of The Reign o Grace 1have made large additions. Tlie principal of which is, an entire chapter upon Election ;which renders the sclieme of doctrines more complete, and the con tents cf th.e bookmore answerable to the title, talso thought it my duty, in a particular manner, to bear a public testimony to that important part of revealed truth ;having in my younger years greatly opposed it, in a Poem On abaolute Predestination. Which Poem, if considered in a critical light, is despicable.
