Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Historical and Critical Account of Hugh Peters: After the Manner of Mr. Bayle For the Antiquity of the Family is known to most; nor docs it yield in Gentility to any of the Cornish; which is no mean Character in the Eyes of those who value themselves on Birth and Descent. [B.] Preached at Sepulchre´s with great Success.] His Account of his coming to Sepulchre´s, and the Success that he met with, will let us see something of he Man. (a) ´To Sepulchre´s I was brought by a ´very strange Providence; for preaching before at ´another Place, and a young Man receiving some ´Good, would not be satisfied, but I must preach at ´Sepulchre´s, once monthly, for the Good of his ´Friends. In which he got his End, (if I might not ´shew Vanity) and he allowed thirty Pounds per Ann. ´to that Lecture; but his Person unknown to me. He ´was a Chandler, and died a good Man, and Member ´of Parliament. At this Lecture the Resort grew so ´great, that it contracted Envy and Anger; though ´I believe above a hundred every Week were per-´suaded from Sin to Christ: There were six or seven ´thousand Hearers, and the Circumstances fit for such ´good Work.´ - Great Success this! and what few Preachers are blessed with. But some, I know, would attribute this to Enthusiasm, which is very contagious, and produces surprising, though not lasting Effects. However this be, it is no Wonder Envy and Anger were contracted by it. For Church Governors are wont to dislike popular Preachers, especially when they set themselves to teach in a Manner different from them. - I will only remark further, that Peters was as great a Converter as our modern Methodists.
