Description
Excerpt from The Gospel Plan, or a Systematical Treatise on the Leading Doctrines of Salvation: Intended to Encourage Sinners to Believe in Christ, and to Direct Believers How to Obtain the Comforts of the Gospel and to Make Progress in a Life of Religion
I have been frequently solicited to publish my views of the gospel plan of salvation; and have for several years withstood those solicitations. Ministers of the gospel with whom I was acquainted, as well as very many other men of pious character, who were acquainted with my manner of preaching, have urged me to comply with this request. I still declined, for reasons which, perhaps, ought yet to keep me back. I urged, as my excuse for not printing, what I thought were good reasons, viz. I was too young to become an author; my head was not gray; and what was the worst of all, I was afraid that, although I could preach, and ihoped to some advan tage, yet my want of popularity, and the want of judg ment in the important doctrines of the gospel, rendered it improper to commit my thoughts to the press; at least, until I would arrive to riper years. I thought the world had very good books to read already; and I was sure it had nonsense enough, and an over stock of books which are little here, or there, and no profit, except the price to the author and printer.
