It links wages, alcohol, and parish relief to religious duty, and proposes civic steps such as Bible distribution, schooling, and promoting religious societies to reform social ills. It urges Christians to live righteously to avert national judgments.
The editor quotes the Bishop of Durham noting benevolent minds lack of guidance to do good, not lack of means. He endorses a plan drafted by the late Dr Stonehouse and recommends it to readers as a practical guide for Christian charity within one’s sphere.
A passage outlining charitable ways to aid the needy. It endorses giving bread and clothes at lower cost, paying rent or part of it, sending wine and meals to the sick, assisting with apothecary bills, providing tools to labourers, prudent cash gifts only when truly needed, supporting infirmaries, and encouraging work to discourage idleness.
