Book Description

Excerpt from Good Life: Extracted From the True Plan of a Living Temple, or Man Considered in His Proper Relation to the Ordinary Occupations and Pursuits of Life The Editor hopes that he is not undertaking a superfluous task, in preparing for publication here this Reprint of an English book on Practical Religion. Such Treatises are always wanted, at least in the strong sense of need. Though they arc far humbler in their pretensions than those which deal with the philosophy of morals, they are, if tolerably well executed, of more general utility. What most persons require, as a prerequsite to a "Good Life," is not so much an abstract discussion of principles, as to be reminded of the incumbent duty of the current day and hour, in that particular situation and province, in which, by the Providence of God, they are placed.
