A

COURSE OF LECTURES

ON SUBJECTS CONNECTED WITH THE

CORRUPTION, REVIVAL, AND FUTURE INFLUENCE

OF

Genuine Christianity.

By W. J. FOX.

"As the few and obscure prophecies concerning Christ's first coming were
for setting up the Christian religion, which all nations have since
corrupted; so the many and clear prophecies concerning the things
to be done at Christ's second coming, are not only for predicting, but
also for effecting, a recovery and re-establishment of the long-lost
truth, and setting up a kingdom wherein dwells righteousness.”
SIR ISAAC NEWTON.

"For

me, I have determined to lay up as the best treasure and solace of a
good old age, if God vouchsafe it me, the honest liberty of free speech
from my youth, where I shall think it available in so dear a concern-
ment as the Church's good.”

JOHN MILTON.

We believe that He is the ONLY PROPER OBJECT OF RELIGIOUS WORSHIP, because our Saviour expressly declared this also, and, by precept and by example, taught his disciples to pray to the FATHER, and to HIM ALONE. We believe that the FATHER is the original Source of every blessing, and 'that HIS FREE UNMERITED GRACE is the SOLE ORIGINAL SPRING of the Salvation which is by Christ, because such is the express and uniform language of the New Testament.-John xvii. 3; Matt. iv. 10; vi. 9; xxvi. 39; John iv. 23, 24; xvi. 23; Eph. i. 3; Tit. iii. 4-7. See also Deut. iv. 35; vi, 4; xxxii. 39; Isa. xlv. 5, 21, 22; lii. 13; Mark xii. 29-32; Rom. xvi. 27; 1 Cor. viii. 4-6; 1 Tim. ii. 5; Phil. iv. 6, 7; "Exod. xxxiv. 14.

These fundamental principles appear to us distinctly, plainly, and expressly taught in various parts of the Scriptures; and we see no proof whatever, that these teach any thing inconsistent with them. It is indeed impossible that revealed truth can be inconsistent with
