(Curators note: As in all the books on this site, some adjustments were made during formatting. Although this has altered the layout of the text, it has not altered the content,even to the including at the end, of advertisments for other books by Dr. Stalker by the same publisher. As best as I know, this book is out of print and in the public domain. Anyone knowing different should contact Brian Heminger, cchmb@comcast.net

PREFACE As the subject of this book may, by its novelty in Protestant religious literature, attract the attention of preachers desirous of leading their flocks to fresh fields and pastures new, it may be mentioned that its history, as a theological topic, is given in ZOCKLER’S Das Lehrstuck von den Sieben Hauptsunden, and that each of the seven sins is discussed with great acuteness and comprehensiveness in AQUINAS’ Summa (Secunda Secunda). The order varies in different writers; I have adopted that of the scholastic catchword SALIGIA, composed of the initial letters of the words Superbia, Avaritia, Luxuria, Invidia, Gula, Ira, Accidia.
