Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Works of Thomas Jackson, Vol. 12 of 12: Sometime President of Corpus Christi College, Oxford, and Dean of Peterborough The sum of this treatise was delivered in Catechism Lectures for the benefit of younger students in Pembroke college in Oxon, at the request of the master of that society, my reverend and worthy friend, and of some other good friends; to whose religious desires my hope was to have given better satisfaction, if my continuance in that ancient and sweet nursery of learning had been longer, or my studies there less interrupted with other occasions. But God be praised, that college hath been furnished since with one of their own body, of whose learned and polite labours, I hope one day to be, with others, a partaker. This Treatise, as now it is, hath been for the most part since, in the hands of others, being committed by me to the perusal of that great light of the northern parts, my then reverend and dearest friend, doctor Birkhead, from whose judicious censure I hoped then this and other of my labours should have received some perfection, and I much comfort from his company. But it pleased the Lord (whose good pleasure we must obey, not question) to call him from us, (no doubt to his greater good, though to the greater loss and sorrow of every true member of the English church which knew him,) before it was my hap (being then absent from those parts) to hear from him, or speak with him. Since his death, it hath passed through many hands, but all, as it seems, good friends, in that it returns unto me entire: and from it, as it is, I hope, no orthodox reader shall receive any discontent, nor any adversaries of the truth much advantage. Wherein it is for the matter deficient, or not so fully expressed, I shall have opportunity, whether by the advice of friends, or exceptions of the adversary, to amend or enlarge in other treatises of the same argument, which (by God´s assistance) shall shortly be communicated to thee. And for this reason, in part, I have been the more willing to have it published at this time. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
