Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Rev. Mr. Palfrey´s Sermon, Preached to the Church in Brattle Square: With Notes, Historical and Biographical Attachment to God´s word and ordinances is nearly allied with attachment to his house; and the sentiment is greatly strengthened, if the scene of our social devotions has been the scene of events honourable to a religious institution, and betokening the smiles of Heaven. This peculiar reason for attachment to the place of our worship, it is only necessary to look into its history to see that we possess; and it is so desirable for the religious institution, with which we are connected, to have a hold on our affections, that I should do wrong to lose the opportunity to prove the reasonableness, and, if it may be, secure the permanency of the emotions excited in many minds this day, by showing, from a retrospect of the fortunes of this Church, how graciously the Lord our God hath been in times past with our fathers. We trace this Church of our fathers to an honourable origin. Its establishment was not owing, like that of too many others, to dissension among fellow worshippers, nor even to so unimportant a cause as preference for the services of a popular individual. It was gathered in the spirit of conscientious adherence to truly enlightened views of Christian order. At the period when its founders associated themselves, there were three churches in this town, besides one congregation of the Baptist sect, and one of the Episcopalian. (1.) In these churches the early customs and prejudices of New England still maintained their ascendency. Calvinism was preached in its primitive rigour. The communicants exercised a distinct and original jurisdiction in church affairs. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
