Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An History of the Sufferings of Mr. Lewis De Marolles, and Mr. Isaac Le Fevre, Upon the Revocation of the Edict of Nantz: To Which Is Prefixed, a General Account of the Treatment of the Protestants in the Gallies of France Having reason to think that the account of the sufferings of Lewis de Marolles, and also of those of Mr. le Fevre (both translated from the French) are now very little known, I give this new edition of them. Few works appear to me more instructive, or more interesting; as they shew the actual force of christian principles; and the reading of them tends to dispose the mind to feel, and to act, as becomes christians in all situations, and especially the most trying ones. In times of peace and tranquility, the pursuits of christians being the fame with those of the world at large, they are apt to conform to the world more than becomes their character, and to lose fight of those objects which ought chiefly to engage their attention. Not sufficiently considering that we are allowed the enjoyment of our property, our liberty, or even our lives, no longer than the enjoyment of them is consistent with our christian profession, we do not sit so loose to them as we ought to do; and therefore, even while we retain them, we do not enjoy them as christians ought to do, viz. as things that are not our own, but only given us as stewards, for purposes respecting chiefly the good of others.
