Description :
&#9654DESCRIPTIONThe person of Christ, and therein his human nature,
shall be the eternal object of divine glory, praise, and worship. The life of glory
is not a mere state of contemplation. Vision is the principle of it, as faith is of
the life of grace. Love is the great vital acting of that principle, in adherence
unto God with eternal delight. But this is active in it also. It shall be exercised
in the continual ascription and assignation of glory, praise, and honour unto
God, and the glorious exercise of all sorts of grace therein &#8212hereof the
Lamb, the person of Christ, is the eternal object with that of the Father and the
Spirit the human nature in the Son, admitted into the communion of the same
eternal glory.&#9654CONTENTS1. The Preface2. Peter&#8217sConfession3.

Owen was educated at Queen's College, Oxford, where he studied classics
and theology and was ordained. Because of the &quothigchurch&quotinnovations
introduced by Archbishop William Laud, he left the
university to be a chaplain to the family of a noble lord. His first parish was at
Fordham in Essex, to which he went while the nation was involved in civil war.
Here he became convinced that the Congregational way was the scriptural
form of church government. In his next charge, the parish of Coggeshall. in
Essex, he acted both as the pastor of a gathered church and as the minister of
the parish. This was possible because the parliament, at war with the king, had
removed bishops. In practice, this meant that the parishes could go their own
way in worship and organization.
