The way to the city of God described, or, A plain declaration how any man may within the day of visitation given him of God, pass out of the unrighteous, into the righteous state : as also, how he may go forward, in the way of holiness and righteousness, and so be fitted for the kingdom of God, and the beholding and enjoying thereof.

With divers other weighty particulars, which may be of service to inquirers and beginners. Written by George Keith, in the year 1669. in the time of his being a close prisoner in the Tolbooth at Edinburgh. Whereunto is added, the way to discern the convictions, motions, &c· of the spirit of God, and divine principle in us, from those of a man's own natural reason, &c.
