Works of the Rev. Henry Scougal e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. To the same purpose, let us hear the before mentioned Mr. Cockburn. The clear style, and easy method of our author, the just and amiable representation he gives of reli gion, in this little treatise, have made it deservedly valued and esteemed by all judicious persons: and it has become a happy means of giving right notions of religion to many, making them in love with it, and putting them upon the practice of what they saw was infinitely desirable in itself, and, with some pains and industry, attainable by them. The Reverend Dr. Wishart, Principal of the College of Edinburgh, published, some years ago, a small edition of this incomparable Treatise, with a recommendatory preface, equally pious, candid, and judicious; an extract of which will, therefore, very properly conclude our preface.
