His purpose in this is that the reader will not miss the glory of Jesus Christ, and an entrance into an eternal heaven for the glory of God. He covers such topics as a right knowledge of God and Jesus Christ; having a lively faith; the importance of self-examination; what it means to have a lawful calling; how to deal responsibly with prosperity, adversity and temptation. The importance of unity, peace and love; what it means to have a true fear of God; and a section on parents, children, masters, servants and dealing with the poor, among other chapters.
