Divine Conduct, or The Mystery of Providence

My Lord, It is the design of this Manual, to assert the Being and Efficacy of Providence against the Atheism of the times; and to display the Wisdom and care of the Providence of God in all the Concerns of that people who are really his. 'Tis probable, if your Lordship will stoop to such a vulgar composure, somewhat may occur of a grateful relish to your pious ⟨image 6⟩mind. I confess, It is not accommodated, either in exactness of method, or elegance of style, to gratify the curious; nor yet is it destitute of what may please and profit the truly gracious.

Should I here recite the pleasures and advantages resulting from an humble and heedful eying of the methods of Providence, it would look more like a Book in an Epistle, than an Epistle in a Book. One taste of spiritual sense will satisfy you better, than all the accurate descriptions and high Encomiums that the most elegant Pen can bestow upon it.
