Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Daily Communion With God: Christianity No Sect; The Sabbath; The Promises of God; The Worth of the Soul; A Church in the House In the reign of Charles I. there was an orchard at Whitehall, and the keeper of it was John Henry, a Welshman. His wife, Magdalen Rochdale, was a pious woman who took great pains with her children, and instructed them carefully in "Perkins´ Six Principles," and the other lesson-books which preceded the Shorter Catechism. When dying, she said, "My head is in heaven, and my heart is in heaven; it is but one step more, and I shall be there too." The name of their only son was Philip. Having become a thoughtful boy at Westminster school, and, at Oxford, under such teachers as Owen and Goodwin, having grown into an enlightened Christian and an accomplished divine, he became a minister, and was settled in Worthenbury, a little parish of Flintshire. The playmate of princes - for Charles II. and James II. were near his own age, and, when children, were often in his father´s house - a gainly suavity marked the demeanour of Philip Henry all his days; and the memories of his boyhood mingled with the convictions of his manhood, and, without diluting his creed, softened his spirit. When a Presbyterian and a Puritan he still remembered Whitehall; how he used to run and open the water-gate to Archbishop Laud, and how his father took him to visit the Primate in the Tower, and how the captive prelate gave him some pieces of new money. He recollected the crowd which assembled before the palace that dismal 30th of January, when a king of England lost his head.
