Its leading doctrines, adapted to the this New A|ie, are summarised as follows Ihere is one God, in whom is a*Dj 1 riniry of Love, Wisdom and .Operatic and He is the Lord Jesus Christ. Saving Faith is to believe in Him. Lvils are to be shunned, because thej ar'i of the devi.' and from the devil. , Good Works ought to be done, because they are of God and from God, and they ought to be done by man as of himself, bul with the belief that they are from the Lord, operating in him by him. There are two tilings which constitute the csscncc of (rod—love and wisdom. And there are lhre« which constitute the essence of Hi: love—to love others out of Himself: to desire to be one with them ; and to make them happy from l.iimseli, I. he same three constitute the essence of His wisdom ; because love and wisdom in God make one, and iove \v ills these tiling's, and wisdom accomplishes them.

"l 1 ye continue in My word, then are ye My disciples indeed." John viii. 31. " Therefore ail things whatsoever ye would that men should do unto jou; do ye. ovc'i so unto them ; for i:his is the law and the prophets. Matt. vii. 8. The len Commandments point out what evils arc to be shunned in order that men may attain v eternal life. "'J hat it is not so difficult to live the life of heaven as if ccmmonly believed is evident from, this—that wlyn anything presents itself that one knows to le insincerc and unjust, to which his mind is disposed, lie need not only think that it ought not to be dore because it is contrary to the Divine commands. If a man accustoms himself so to_ think, and from custom derives the habit, he is then by degrees conjoined to heaven ; and in so far as he is conjoined to heaven, the higher degrees ol his mind are opened ; and in so far as these arc; opened he sees what is insincere and unjust; and in so far as lie sees these evils they can be shaken off, for it impossible that any evil can be shaken off until it be seen. This is a state into which a man may enter from freedom ; for who is not capable from freedom of thinking in this maimer ? Hut when he has made a beginning all goods arc wrought in him by the Lord, and He causes him not only to see evils, but alsonol to will them, and finally to become averse to them. Ihis is meant by the Lord's words, | *' .My yoke is easy and My burden is light." I Matt. xi. oO Hut it should be known that the difficulty ot so thinking, and likewise of resisting evils, increases in proportion as a man from tho will commits evils, for in so far he becomes accustomed to them, until at length he does not see them, and afterwards loves them, and from the,delight of love excuses them, and by all kinds of fallacies confirms them, and declares that they arc allowable and good. Hut this occurs with those who in the agtvof adolescence plunge into evils as if without restraint, and at the same time rcject Divine things from the heart."—" Heaven and Hell." No. 5*3.
