Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Lives of Early Methodist Preachers, Vol. 1 of 6: Chiefly Written by Themselves, Edited With an Introductory Essay "There are many devices in a man´s heart; nevertheless the counsel of the Lord, that shall stand." (Prov. xix. 21.) This maxim of inspired wisdom receives a striking illustration in the personal history of the Rev. John and Charles Wesley. These eminent men were trained in the belief and practice of the strictest churchmanship; so that they would have thought it a sin to deviate from the rubric, to con duct public worship in an unconsecrated place, or to countenance the ministrations of a man on whose head the hands of a prelate had never been laid. Yet these very men were so controlled by the providence and grace of God, as to be a means of introducing, and that upon an extensive scale, a freedom of a-religious action, such as had scarcely been witnessed in any country since the apostolic age. In them an exact adherence to ecclesiastical order was connected with defective and even erroneous views of Christian godliness, as it is described in the New Testament.
