WHAT I purpose in the following pages is to give a plain and distinct account of the steps by which I was led during a course of many years to embrace the doctrine of Christian Perfection. This I owe to the serious part of mankind; those who desire to know all the truth as it is in Jesus. And these only are concerned in questions of this kind. To these I would nakedly declare the thing as it is endeavouring all along to show from one period to another both what I thought and why I thought it.
