Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Gospel Not a Ceremonial Law: A Sermon Preached Before the University of Oxford, at St. Mary´s, on Monday, January 30, 1854; Being the Anniversary of the Martyrdom of King Charles I The occasion which has summoned us together has frequently been devoted to pronouncing fulsome panegyrics, or indiscriminate censure, upon the chief characters which figured in the contests, political and religious, of the seventeenth century. Time, the great healer of social as well as personal differences, a more enlarged and impartial view of the history of the period referred to, and the sentiments proper to a milder age, have all combined to bring into disuse this line of discourse; and to recommend to us, in preference, to dwell upon the lessons of warning and instruction, which the errors or the virtues of our forefathers are calculated to furnish. Indeed, if these commemorative days were only made use of to re-open old wounds, to keep alive the dying embers of political and religious strife, and the memory of crimes which had best be buried in oblivion or to laud and magnify ourselves at the expense of all other bodies of Christians, we might well desire their discontinuance; for, under such an aspect, they could hardly be said to tend to edification.
