Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Select Collection of Letters, Vol. 2 of 3: Of the Late Reverend George Whitefield, M. An; Of Pembroke-College, Oxford, and Chaplain to the Rt. Hon. The Countess of Huntingdon; Written to His Most Intimate Friends, and Persons of Distinction, in England, Scotland, Ireland, and America, From the Yea Go on, thou nun of God; and may the Lord cause thy bow to abide in strength! Glad should I be to come and shoot some gospel arrows in Devonshire; but the cloud seems now to point toward America. My dear family calls loudly for me. Our Lord has wonderfully of late interposed on their behalf. God willing, I intend shortly to send you an account of the Orphan-house, and my last volume of sermons, with some other things. Blessed be God for making any of my poor writings of use to your dear soul. Surely I had need proclaim free grace on the house-top; if I did not, the stones would cry out against me. O my dear brother, what a mystery of love is the mystery of godliness? Whilst I am writing the fire kindles. This fire has also of late kindled in many hearts. Our large society goes on well. We have many that walk in the comforts of the Holy Ghost. I hear of glorrous things from various parts. I hope erelong we shall hear of persons going from post to post, and crying, "Babylon is fallen, Babylon is fallen." I trust: you, my dear Sir, will be made a happy instrument in the Mediator´s kingdom, of pulling down satan´s strongholds. Pray write me word, how the war is going on between Micheal and the dragon. For the present, adieu. My tender love to all the lovers of Jesus Christ Accept the fame from, my dear brother, Yours most affectionately in Christ, G. W To Mr. R - , in Edinburgh. Dear Mr. R - , London Dec.24, 1742. It has given me some concern that I could nut answer your kind and acceptable letter before. As our Saviour will give me freedom, I shall send you a few lines now. I think I may say to you, as Luther said to Melanchton, Nimis, es nullus. You are kept in bondage by a false humility. It is good to see ourselves poor, and exceeding vile; but if that fight and feeling prevent our looking up to, and exerting ourselves for our dear Saviour, it becomes criminal, and robs the soul of much comfort. I can speak this by dear-bought experience. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
