To give the World a satisfactory Account not only of its Original, but of its End too; To bring Man acquainted with his true Sovereign Happiness, and a most wonderful and astonishing method of Reconciliation with his Maker; Its Promises are everlasting Glory, and never-fading Crowns: Its Precepts, perfect† Righteousness, and altogether such as tend most to the Honour of God, the Happiness of a Man's Self, and the Quiet of the World: Its Threatenings are of Miseries that are endless: Its whole Tendency is to a Prospect beyond the Grave: what Heathen ever so much as dreamed of the Resurrection? Who but the Lord could be Author of such Laws, that only can give eternal Life, and inflict eternal Death? These things can move the Conscience of none, but such who acknowledge the Precepts thereof to be divine. In a Word, its General Subjects are Mysteries no where else to be heard of, and without such a Manifestation, unconceivable. Now considering the Premises, what less than Infinite Wisdom, can be the supposed Author of such a Book?
