ABSTRACT

[…] There is nothing we dislike so much in other people as selfishness; and, if we are honest with ourselves, there is nothing to which we ourselves are more liable. Every body will acknowledge this; so I will not waste time in proving it, nor in showing, what must be obvious, how it keeps us back in our way to Heaven, and does us all manner of harm here as well as hereafter, on earth as well as elsewhere. Let us rather look at what God has done for us, and how He has placed us, so as to protect us from this miserable sin.
