IN the following pages an attempt is made to present the reader with an abstract of the plan of Salvation. They are divided into chapters, each devoted to some important branch of truth, and these into paragraphs in every one of which some weighty doctrine is succinctly stated, and proved from the Word of God.
At the onset it may be desirable to give a resume of the views which it is here sought to unfold and enforce. The following may, therefore, be acceptable as a brief, but clear and comprehensive condensation of those momentous facts in which it is our highest happiness to be vitally interested :
"The principles upon which I go, and by which I hope by the grace of God eternally to abide are That the triune Jehovah, having made all things for Himself, and having an undoubted right to do what He wills with His own creatures, governed them all according to His predetermined plan. (a) That as to mankind, He hath chosen a remnant, whom He hath loved with an everlasting love, (b) which love and choice was not made on account of any seen or foreseen excellence in the objects of it; who were chosen, not because they were, or because they would be, but that they might be holy. (c) That all mankind falling in Adam, the rest were left in this ruin; and, being utterly unable to extricate themselves out of it, the non-elect are for acts of willful sin condemned and perish. (d)
