Summary
In the exploring expedition on which we have set out, we have first, as from a height, taken a general survey of the country before us, as the traveller will do when circumstances admit, at the outset of his journey. We are now to descend to a detailed examination of the territory whose outline we have been surveying. In the first instance, we are to enter into the heart of the physical world as the same bears relation to man, and we are then to consider the character of man as under the government of God. As a suitable conclusion, we may gather the results together, and view them in combination.
