It was thus, at the first spreading of the gospel, and also at our happy Reformation, that heathens and Papists were turned from the worship of creatures to the worship of the one living and true God, through the one only Mediator, our Lord Jesus Christ; and the security of the Protestant religion against Popery, and every other error, does, under God, depend on the knowledge and use Protestants make of their Bible.

In hopes of answering, in some measure, some of the valuable ends above stated, the following work is composed, upon the foregoing plan or method mentioned. All possible care has been taken to render it satisfactory to the reader, by making it more full and complete than any thing of the kind hitherto published; and by inserting the true Scripture account of the subjects mentioned, without regard to the private distinguishing opinions of any party or denomination of Christians; so that it is presumed it may be useful at least to some of every denomination; and can be offensive or hurtful to none, who are not prejudiced against Scripture truth.
