Excerpt from The Old Religion Demonstrated in Its Principles, and Described in the Life and Practice Thereof
Good Reader,
Thou art here presented with a new Book concerning the Old Religion. As therefore thou art not to expect thy curiosity should here be gratified with new Notions, (for I am not describing a new way to Heaven, but directing thee in the good old way which the Holy Scriptures have marked out, and which wise and good men have all along walked in); so neither art thou to think thyself disappointed if thou meetest not with a Discourse modishly dressed up, with all the fashionable Ornaments of Wit and Eloquence. For, give me leave to tell thee, though that would have been acceptable to the humour of the Age, and perhaps might without any great difficulty have been complied with; yet it would neither have suited so well with the nature of the subject I am upon, nor especially have fitted the persons for whose sake this little Book was written.
