Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Works of William Chillingworth, M.A, Vol. 3 of 3 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof. To a discourse upon these words, I cannot think of any fitter introduction than that wherewith our Saviour sometime began a sermon of his, This day is this scripture fulfilled. And I would to God there were not great occasion to fear that a great part of it may be fulfilled in this place. Two things are contained in it: first, the real wickedness of the generality of the men of the latter times, in the four first verses. For by men shall be lovers of themselves, covetous, boasters, proud, &c., I conceive is meant, men generally shall be so; otherwise this were nothing peculiar to the last, but common to all × for in all times some, nay many, have been lovers of themselves, covetous, boasters, proud, &c. Secondly, we have here the formal and hypocritical godliness of the same times, in the last verse, having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof; which latter ordinarily and naturally accompanies the former.
