Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Essay on the Kingdom of Christ: To Which Is Added, the Doctrine of the Covenants, Wherein Is Shewn That There Never Was a Covenant of Works Made With Adam; Nor Any Other Covenant Ever Made With Man, Respecting Things Purely of a Spiritual Nature
Such is the nature of our Lord's empire, that few ey' his loyal fubjefis can jerioujly re?ec't upon it, without feeling them/elves both delighted and repro ved. Delighted becau/e it ts for the honor of their Mediator, to be the Sovereign of a jpzritual monarchy. A chara�ter of this leznd apparently fieits the dignity of hisf'er/on, the defign of hts medi ation, and the riches of his grace - Removed be tau/� they daily find a want of that fpirituality in thetr afic'iions, and of that heavenly mindedncfs, which become the profejed/ubjefts of [uch a king dom. When meditating on the charac'terijiics of this holy empire, they fiand convtc'ied before its di vine Sovereign of much carnalityand worldly mind edne/is, over which they fincerely mourn while mere lynominaljubjec'is of the King Mejiah, or [uperfi cial profcfi'ors of the gracious go/pel, are but little concerned about the fiate of their hearts, in reference to heaven; or with regard to the jpiritualtty of their wo rjhip.
