Excerpt from An Exposition of the Assembly's Catechism: With Practical Inferences From Each Question, as Exhibited in the Lord's Day Exercises in Dartmouth in the First Year of Liberty, 1688

The present age is characterized by a remarkable degree of activity. Strenuous efforts are made to promote the welfare of man, considered as an individual, social and religious being. This is well. It must be gratifying to every friend of humanity to witness such efforts, and where the means employed are lawful, to co-operate in advancing the cause of benevolence, whether it has the good of man in this world or the world to come, for its object. He who is imbued with the spirit of the Master, will "seek to save that which is lost," and "go about doing good."

It is, however, exceedingly important that scriptural knowledge and personal experimental piety should increase with the benevolent activity of the age - important, because without these, we have no reason to expect that this activity will be sustained or attended with lasting beneficial results. We can hope but little from efforts that do not proceed from an enlightened understanding, and are not animated and controlled by a high and holy principle.
