The title continues: "Wherein the text is clearly and judicially opened, and a great many most apposite, truly spiritual, and very edifying points of doctrine, in a delectable variety, drawn from it; with choice and excellent practical improvements thereof. Wherein also several adversaries of the truth, as Socinians, Arminians, Arians, and Antinomians, are solidly and fully refuted. Besides, many errors in practice incident to professors, otherwise sound and orthodox in their opinions, are discovered; and many grave, deep, and very important cases of conscience, satisfyingly discussed."

The preface, signed by Thomas Ridgley (and 22 others), notes that this work "equals, at least, if it does not exceed his other writings." This book aims to "prove contributive to the bringing you to a considerable growth in holiness."

It contains an index (which was not available in earlier editions), enlarged print, and covers over 460 pages.
