Our blessed Lord, having now finished his main design, having first delivered the sum of true religion, carefully guarded against those glosses of men by which they would make the word of God of no effect, and having next laid down rules touching that right intention which we are to preserve in all our outward actions, now proceeds to point out the main hindrances to this religion, and concludes all with a suitable application.
