Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Practical Works of the Rev. Richard Baxter, Vol. 20 of 23: With a Life of the Author, and a Critical Examination of His Writings My Lord, When you wore pleased to tell me your thoughts of the acceptableness of the attempt in the second part of my book called ´The Saint´s Rest,´ and of how great use it would be to have that work yet more fully done; 1 told you, I had some popular sermons more by me on that subject, which, though they look not like such a full performance might yet, as a supplement to the aforesaid discourse, afford some help to the settling of tempted souls in the faith. Upon some unexpected occasions which fell out when 1 was with you, with which your Lordship was well acquainted, I put the first of these papers then into the press, which moved so slowly, that it hath not reached the last till now. Such as they are, 1 here present them to you, with the thankful acknowledgment of those great undeserved respects and favours which I then received from you. And as I first present them to your hand, so do I wish the first and fullest effects of them upon your heart: for though I doubt not but you are established in the foundation of the faith, and resolved in these great matters long ago, and therefore are none of those for whom I principally publish this book; yet may the strongest believer on earth receive an increase of their faith, even in the principles and essentials of the christian verity. Oh! what raised, vigorous, and constant affections should we have to God and life to come; and what resolute and invincible industry for the attainment of them, with a contempt of all these terrestrial toys, if we were not so defective either in a sound belief, or a serious consideration of these transcendant, incomparable, but invisible things!
