Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Works of the Learned and Reverend John Scott, D.D, Vol. 1 of 6: Sometime Rector of St. Giles's in the Fields
In the first place, I thought it would be necessary, in treating of the Christian life, to give some account of the blessed end it refers to, that so, from the nature of that, we might be the better able to judge of the necessity and use fulness of those means which Christianity prescribes in order to it. And this I have endeavoured in the first chapter; where I have only so far explained the nature of the heavenly state and felicities, as was necessary to light and conduct us through the ensuing design.
