Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Letter From a Blacksmith to the Ministers and Elders of the Church of Scotland: In Which the Manner of Public Worship in the Church Is Considered; Its Inconveniences and Defects Pointed Out; And Methods for Removing Them Humbly Propsed But now we are blessed with a learned body of clergy, with a prince well disposed to promote true piety among his people, and we have the happiness to live in an age, in which the prejudices of parties are mostly worn off, the rage of dispute abated, and men disposed to hear truth, and obey reason; such peaceful happy days are designed by heaven, and ought to be employed by men, to repair in religion, what has been pulled down by mad passions, in turbulent × to restore to its first beauty, whatever has been defaced by party prejudices in the days of contention, and to recover the purity of our faith, and decency of our worship, from the rust and low superstition which they have contracted in the ignorant ages; and tinctures of enthusiasm they imbibed in the shock and tumult of the reformation. There was no church that met with greater opposition, or was more violently agitated than ours; and tho´ (thank God) it stood out the storm, yet it suffered very severely; and when the fury was in some degree abated, and men had time to look about them, our church appeared little better than a ruin her sacred buildings levelled with the ground, or bare mattered walls, the standing monuments of religious madness; her treasures robbed by sacrilegious hands; her registers destroyed, or carried off; her funds applied to profane uses; and her clergy left to starve: would to God me had suffered only in these less essential things.
