Archibald Alexander decrees that God is the only being who justifies. He stresses that justification is an instrument of Christ, and thus is by faith alone.

Alexander writes this prose to speak directly to the poor man, to tell them not to envy their rich neighbors as their wealth only brings evil.

Archibald Alexander discusses the misery of the souls of the damned. The same things that will bring us humans pleasure, also can bring us the most misery when removed from our lives. The first moment of death, and the day of judgment will be the most dreadful for those who allow sin to go unrepented. 

There are certain elements of piety that are common among all Christians. They dedicate theirselves to the Lord, have good will toward all men, to name a few. But to truly be pious, one must spread the word of God to nonbelievers. 

No one knows when the day of Judgement will occur - not even Archibald Alexander. He foretells this day as a day of miracles, where all the lives of the past and ancient patriachs will stand present. And for those who pass judgement of Jesus Christ, their future will be in heaven.
