Notes: "It is a well known fact, that but few copies of the platform, or constitution of the New-England churches, are now extant. ... Should the publication of this cheap edition prove instrumental in exciting professors of religion to enquire into the causes which have produced a declension of church discipline, and serve to promote the practical knowledge of God among Christians, enliven the flame of vital piety, and add to the number of disciples of the Blessed Saviour, the wishes of an humble enquirer after truth will be fully realized."--To the Christian public, p. [iii].

"Appendix: being some collections for the information of those that are not acquainted with the principles and practices of the first and most eminent leaders in the churches of Christ, in New-England."--p. [49]-51.
