The Complete Duty of Man Or a System of Doctrinal and Practical Christianity, Designed for the use of Families by Henry Venn and published by Classics.
The author begs every reader would join with him, to the Fountain of all good, that it would please Him to make the following sheets instrumental in giving, to those who peruse them, such a manifestation of the glory of God the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, as shall make sin and the world, with their bewitching charms, appear vain, despicable, odious — such a conviction of human ignorance, guilt, and depravity, as may infinitely endear the name of a Redeemer and Sanctifier, and create tender compassion and humbleness of mind one towards another — such a knowledge of the pardon and peace, the strength and power, the purity and holiness, which ennoble and bless those who have scriptural faith in Christ, as may manifest the emptiness of deistical and formal religion, and excite an earnest desire to behold the meridian glory of Christianity in the eternal world : where every creature breaks forth in fervent acknowledgment of infinite obligation, saying, Worthy is the Lamb that WAS SLAIN TO RECEIVE POWER, AND RICHES, AND WISDOM, AND STRENGTH, AND HONOUR, AND GLORY, AND BLESSING.
