the everlasting inheritance of the saints, when this great controversy is
concluded.
While the subjects here presented involve the loftiest imagery, and
most wonderful depth, even as the apostle declares, “the deep things
of God,” which the Spirit alone is capable of searching into (1 Cor.
2:10), yet they are treated in language chaste, simple, and easy to be
understood. And we rejoice to know that the reading of this work leads
to greater confidence in, and love for, the Holy Scriptures, to greater
sympathy with Christ, in His marvelous work for the redemption of
[iii]
men, and to greater reverence for the God of all grace, in Whom are
all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
Numerous editions of this work having already been exhausted, we
feel a peculiar gratification in sending forth this edition, enlarged and
improved, and adapted to circulate in various tongues. The illustrations
will add to the interest and value of the work. May it still prove a
blessing to all who read, and redound to the glory of the Most High.
