An Illustration of the Doctrines of Christian Religion Comprehending a Complete Body of Divinity. (1721 pages)
阐明基督教教义，包含一个完整的神学体系。（1721页）
1 COR. 10:31.—Whether therefore ye eat or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.
哥林多前书 10章31节——所以，你们或吃或喝，无论作什么，都要为荣耀上帝而行。
PSALM 73:25, 26.—Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire besides thee. My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.
诗篇 73篇25、26节——除祢以外，在天上我还有谁呢？除祢以外，在地上我也没有所爱慕的。我的肉体和我的心肠衰残；但上帝是我心里的力量，又是我的福分，直到永远。
KNOWLEDGE is a necessary foundation of faith and holiness; and where ignorance reigns in the mind, there is confusion in the heart and life.
知识是信心（faith）和圣洁（holiness）的必要基础；在思想中无知统治之处，心灵和生活就会混乱。
We have the word of truth in our hands, and many methodical systems of divine truths, amongst which the Shorter Catechism, composed by the Reverend Assembly of Divines at Westminster, in pursuance of the solemn league and covenant, as a part of the then intended uniformity between the three nations, is deservedly reckoned the chief.
我们手中有真理的圣言，以及许多条理清晰的神圣真理系统，其中由尊敬的威斯敏斯特神学家会议（Assembly of Divines at Westminster）根据庄严同盟与圣约（solemn league and covenant），作为当时三个国家之间预期的统一的一部分而编写的《小要理问答》（Shorter Catechism），理所当然地被认为是主要的。
This I shall endeavour to explain with all possible brevity and perspecuity, that ye may have a view of those divine truths, with the reasons of them.
我将尽我所能地简明和清晰地解释这一点，以便你们能看到这些神圣的真理，以及它们的原因。
And this I have thought it the more necessary to do, in order that your minds may be established in the truth, as our time is like to be a time of trial, wherein ye may be exposed to many snares, and so be in danger of apostasy.
我之所以认为这样做更必要，是为了让你们的心思能在真理中得以坚立，因为我们的时代很可能是一个考验的时期，在其中你们可能会面临许多网罗，并因此处于背道（apostasy）的危险之中。
