Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Christian in Complete Armour, Vol. 1 of 3: Or, a Treatise of the Saints´ War Against the Devil If I should measure my life by the joy of it, (as indeed who doth not?) then in some uprightness I can say, with Paul, I live as I see any of you stand fast in the Lord, and die as I see others stand fast in their sins, not to be moved with all the entreaties of the Gospel which have wooed you. And why, my dear friends, should not the life of your souls be more precious in your own sight than mine? But I forbear: I would not willingly be thought, as some husbands are, to be kinder to you abroad before strangers, than I am at home. What I present you with in this Treatise, is a dish from your own table, and so, I hope, will go down the better. You cannot despise it (though the fare be mean) except you will blame yourselves, who chose the cook. I cannot be earnest with others, to bestow so much time as to read over these plain sermons, lest it should be to their loss; it were but to call them from gathering sheaves in the more fruitful labours of others, to glean a few ears, and those but thin also, in mine; yet with you, my people, I may be a little bold. Physicians say, the mother´s milk, though not so weighty as another´s, if no noxious humour be tasted in it, because natural, is more proper for the child than a stranger´s. And, I think, it would not be an error, if I should say it held in the milk which the minister gives to his flock. A people conscientiously lying at the breasts of their own minister (if the milk he gives be wholesome), may expect the blessing of Goa for their nourishment, though it has not so much lusciousness to please the curious taste as some others.
