A letter from *** a magistrate in the countrey, to *** his freind: Giving a new historical account of designs, through the Christian world, for reforming manners therein; discovering, how its not the publick's fault that the laws against immoralities are not execute in Scotland; removing difficulties which seem to impede those, at whom this glorious work appears to stick, here; and thereupon, rousing up such from their lethargie, which, otherwise, will be fatal, both to themselves, the church and the kingdom. With which are intermixed some directions, for the orderly and successful carrying on, of this blessed enterprise; and there is added an abbreviate of some acts of the assembly, commission; town council of Edinburgh, &c. to this purpose.

Date:

M.DCC.I. [1701]
