Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Bishop Hall, His Life and Times, or Memoirs of the Life, Writings, and Sufferings, of the Right Rev. Joseph Hall, D. D. Successively Bishop of Exeter and Norwich The Author of this volume has endeavoured, as well as he could, to acquaint himself, with much labour and research, with the history of those eventful times in which the celebrated Bishop Hall lived, with the view of giving a full account of the life and sufferings of one of the most worthy of the sons of the Church of England, and a narrative of the principal events and transactions of that period. The aim of the author has been to give an impartial account of those × but he found it often a very difficult matter to discriminate the truth among a mass of confused and contradictory account of writers biassed and influenced by prejudice, faction, or party spirit. The author is far from vindicating the arbitrary power and the violent measures employed and adopted by the rulers of church and state, to promote their religious or secular ends in those × and he is bold also to affirm, that the persecuting, violent, and unchristian conduct, and evil practices of some of those called Puritans, of the Presbyterians and Independents, when they got the power in their own hands, have left upon them such an indelible stigma, as will never be forgotten. Bishop Hall has left us a brief account of his own life and sufferings; but because of his great modesty, he has touched but slightly on some most interesting incidents; the author has therefore endeavoured, from other authentic sources, to give, in the following Memoirs, a more copious detail; leaving, however, the good old Bishop, as much as possible, to be his own biographer.
