Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Whole Works of the Right Rev. Jeremy Taylor, D.D., Lord Bishop of Down, Connor, and Dromore, Vol. 6 of 15: With a Life of the Author, and a Critical Examination of His Writings But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ, to whom be glory both now and for ever. Amen. - 2 Pet. iii. 18. When Christianity like the day-spring from the east, with a new lights did not only enlighten the world, but amazed the minds of men, and entertained their curiosities, and seized upon their warmer and more pregnant affections, it was no wonder, that whole nations were converted at a sermon, and multitudes were instantly professed, and their understandings followed their affections, and their wills followed their under standings, and they were convinced by miracle, and overcome by grace, and passionate with zeal, and wisely governed by their guides, and ravished with the sanctity of the doctrine and the holiness of their examples. And this was not only their duty, but a great instance of providence that by the great religion and piety of the first professors, Christianity might be firmly planted, and unshaken by scandal, and hardened by persecution; and that these first lights might be actual precedents for ever, and copies for us to transcribe in all descending ages of Christianity, that thither we might run to fetch oil to enkindle our extinguished lamps. But then piety was so universal, that it might well be enjoined by St. Paul, that "if a brother walked disorderly, the Christians should avoid his company: he forbade them not to accompany with the heathens that walked disorderly;" "for then a man must have gone out of the world;" but they were not to endure so much as "to eat with," or "to salute, a disorderly brother," and ill-living Christian.
