Primitive Christianity reviv'd and restor'd : Or, The state of a reformation in full to the will of God and Christ, humbly propos'd to the consideration of all men, kings, states, churches, and private persons whatever; and that as a stand, both as the most purely, sincerely, and holily to the mind to God; and yet at the same time the most inoffensively to the interest of every private person whatever. Omne tubit punctum, qui miscuit utile dulci. Behold then here, I. Christ's axe laid full to the root of the tree of sin in the world. II. Christ's converting powers of the word, stated in their brightest reasonings, and that in order to their being further and better carried on in their irresistible powers. III. The royal supremacy and power of Kings and states fix'd and establish'd in religion, beyond all dispute and contradiction whatever, and that for ever and ever. IV. A new stand propos'd, and whereby near every state of preferment even in the Church of Rome may be so fix'd, as to become the most righteous establithment, to the glory of God, and the good of man. Surely nothing but the devil himself then can desire to resist God, when the interest of opposing his is so taken away. Say man, then, that thou wilt not repent, yet at least have patience to see, read, and consider how good and just God is; and as such, how most assuredly he'll condemn thee, if thou they self art other. Ah! let God be true, and every man a liar. Ah! behold here then the ground that the whole earth must stand upon, if ever they'll hope to please God. Ah! all nations, religions, sects and churches, see here their true, full and proper call, if ever they'll hope for the prelence and blessing of God. God, by Christ, expects all men to receive the righteous and wise. Deep thought then i verily believe will make this book answer its title, and that even in every thing, and the eyes of all men, provided it be perused and received with candor: and thus therefore is finished the first cry of the most high God to men to come out of the spirutual Babylon or Egypt. Humbly dedicated To His Majesty, and both Houses of Parliament, that thro' their most graclous favour, protection and encouragement, so holy, and most universally happy and blessed proposals, may have their most desirable issue; and that as in further encouragement to their better reception by all other people and nations whatever. Says the apostle, the spirit of the prophets is subject to the prophets; all rhese things therefore, tho whote with fullest freedom, are deliver'd with duty and submission to proper superiors; and to be the most readily corrected, where found opposing the just laws of God or the state.
