Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Second Letter to the Rev. William Palmer, M.A: Of Worcester College, Oxford; Demonstratively Proving the Church of England to Be an Heretical and Schismatical Church, the Mere Creature of Human Invention Rev. Sir, I appeal to all historical evidence, Inspired, Ecclesiastical, and Prophane, whether it were ever known, from the beginning of the world to the time of the Reformation, that Almighty God made use of wicked Men as his chosen and immediate instruments for the propagating the honor and glory of his name, for the Establishing his Church, or for the promulgation of Truth and the abolition of error; and I appeal to the judgment of all mankind whether such a conduct seems suitable to our notion of an omnipotent, omniscient and benign Providence. The Psalmist says, that Almighty God is pleased sometimes to receive his praises from the mouths of Infants and suckling babes. (Ps. viii. 3.) The Apostle also observes that he has, on occasions chosen the foolish of the World to confound the wise, and the weak to defeat the strong. (1 Cor. i. 27.) But it is no where found in the Sacred volume that Almighty God ever made choice of the impious as proper instruments to bring about such extraordinary events, or to co-operate with him in his works of grace, and therefore, Rev. Sir, If no instance can be produced till the Epoch of your pretended Reformation, of Almighty God Acting in this manner; and, if it be consistent with our ideas of his infinite wisdom and goodness, why shall we presume to think that he then, and only then, began to alter his conduct, and the usual course of his divine providence, in choosing, for the Reformation of Religion and the abolishing of error, men of abandoned consciences - without virtue, without honor, without principles, convicted of the most abominable vices, without sanctity of life and manners, to gain credit to their enterprise?
