INTRODUCTION.

AS an introduction to the following Treatise, on a new and original system of Theology, which we have at length made up our minds to publish; we will, in as brief a manner as possible, explain the motives and objects which we have in view; in order, if possible, to advance the glory of the Supreme Being, and the good, or happiness of mankind, which are inseparably connected with each

other.

For a number of years we have perceived with unfeigned sorrow, that there still exists a great diversity of opinion among the various sects or parties of professing christians, into which the religious world is divided and sub-divided, and while each separate party entertains such different sentiments, they all profess strictly to follow the same Divine Master; and likewise to derive their faith from the same sacred volume: this probably has been the means, in no small degree, of increasing the votaries of infidelity.

In order not to be too tedious on a subject which is much lamented by many, we will for the present confine ourselves to the two principal or largest bodies of professing christians (including both churchmen and dissenters,) which are known, or called by the names of Calvinists and Arminians; the former of which the Rev. George Whitefield followed, and the latter the Rev. John Wesley; both of whom we trust are gone to glory and happiness in the heavenly world.
