CONTENTS OF THE SIXTH VOLUME. |
|
Thoughts on the Manners of the Great |
1 |
An Estimate of the Religion of the Fashionable
World |
89 |
CHAP. I. Decline of Christianity shown, by a comparative
View of the Religion of the Great in preceding Ages |
107 |
CHAP. II. Benevolence allowed to be the reigning
Virtue, but not exclusively the Virtue of the present Age.--Benevolence
not the Whole or Religion, though one of its most characteristic
Features. Whether Benevolence proceed from a religious Principle
will be more infallibly known by the General Disposition of Time,
Fortune, and the common habits of Life, than from a few occasional
Acts of Bounty |
119 |
CHAP. III. The Neglect of Religious Education both
a Cause and Consequence of the Decline of Christianity. --No
Moral Restraints. Religion only incidentally taught, not as a
Principal of Action.--A few of the many Causes which dispose
the Young to entertain low Opinions of Religion |
135 |
CHAP. IV. Other Symptoms of the Decline of Christianity.
No Family Religion.-- Corrupt or Negligent Example of Superiors.--The
self-denying and evangelical Virtues held in Contempt.-- Neglect
of encouraging and promoting Religion among Servants |
173 |
CHAP. V. The negligent Conduct of Christians, no
real Objection against Christianity.-- The Reason why its Effects
are not more manifest to Worldly Men, is, because Believers do
not lead Christian Lives. Professors differ but little in their
Practice from Unbelievers. Even real Christians are too diffident
and timid, afraid of acting up to their Principals. The Absurdity
of the Charge commonly brought against Serious People, that they
are too strict |
198 |
CHAP. VI. A Stranger, from observing the Fashionable
Mode of Life, would not take this to be a Christian Country.--
Lives of professing Christians examined by a Comparison with
the Gospel.-- Christianity not made the Rule of Life, even by
those who profess to receive it as an Object of Faith.--Temporing
Writers contribute to lower the Credit of Christianity--Loose
Harangues on Morals not calculated to reform the Heart. |
226 |
CHAP. VII. View of those who acknowledge Christianity
as a perfectSystem of Morals, but deny its Divine Authority.--
Morality not the Whole of Religion |
251 |
Remarks on the Speech of Mr. Dupont, made in the
National Convention of France in 1793 |
279 |
