“We have a rule of life as far exceeding the law as the new covenant of grace and truth in the glorious Person of the Son of God exceeds and outshines the old covenant of works; and as much as the ministration of the Spirit, of life, and of righeousness excels in glory the ministration of the letter, of death, and of condemnation. (2 Cor 3:6-11.) In a word, the precepts of the New Testament, in all their fulness, minuteness, and comprehensiveness, are our rule of life.” J C Philpot, quoted on the back cover of the book.
