THE

BACKSLIDER:

OR,

AN ENQUIRY

Into the

Nature, Symptoms, and Effects

OF

RELIGIOUS DECLENSION,

WITH THE

MEANS OF RECOVERY.

BY A. FULLER.

I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard
of the man void of understanding: and lo! it was
all grown over with thorns; nettles had covered the
face thereof, and the stone-wall thereof was broken
down. Then I saw, and considered it well: I looked
upon it, and received instruction.
