The Practical Christian, or the Devout Penitent: A Book of Devotion Containing the Whole Duty of a Christian, in All Occasions and Necessities; Fitted to the Main Uses of a Holy Life
Excerpt from The Practical Christian, or the Devout Penitent
Such then is the history of the Practical Christian, and it were needless to attempt any more formal statement either of its nature or design. It was written, as we have seen, mainly with the view of guarding against those evils, which are always sure to follow from a theoretical knowledge of religious doctrines, unaccompanied by habits of practical obedience. It may not be saying too much, if we add, that we of this day (especially the younger of us) have great reason to°guard against the evils to which we allude.
