Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Life of Joseph Hall, D. D: Bishop of Exeter, and Afterwards of Norwich The life and character of the learned and pious bishop Hall are best illustrated from his own writings, which show him to have been one of the brightest ornaments of the church of Christ. It is much to be regretted, that none of his contemporaries have left on record a complete biographical account of this excellent divine; but the period in which he lived was not favourable for those delineations of character which have rendered the memoirs of later ministers of the gospel so interesting and instructive. The minds of men were influenced by painful differences; and thus circumstances of those times, in which perhaps both parties were to blame, and which it must be wished had been forgotten, have been remembered and described, rather than the genuine piety, the holy faith, and the zealous energy for their Master´s work, which were so largely evidenced by this and other eminent servants of Christ. Bishop Hall´s account of himself, written with his own hand, of course supplies the best materials for his biographers. It commences with the following beautiful statement of his views in recording the principal occurrences of his life. "Not out of a vain affectation of my own glory, which I know how little it can avail me when I am gone hence; but out of a sincere desire to give glory to my God, whose wonderful providence I have noted in all my ways, I have recorded some remarkable pas sages of my forepast life. What I have done is worthy of nothing but silence and forgetfulness; but what God hath done for me, is worthy of everlasting and thankful memory."
