He examines the holy state of God, angels, and humans, and discusses the different aspects of a holy life, such as prayer, repentance, and charity.In the second part, Fuller turns his attention to the profane state, which he defines as anything that is not holy. He explores the different forms of profanity, such as sin, vice, and ignorance, and discusses their consequences. He also examines the various ways in which people can fall into a profane state and offers advice on how to avoid it.Throughout the book, Fuller uses examples from the Bible and from his own experiences to illustrate his points. He also provides practical advice for living a holy life and avoiding the pitfalls of a profane one.
