Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Works of the Right Reverand Joseph Hall, D.D, Vol. 9: Bishop of Exeter and Afterwards of Norwich No less than a year and a half is past, dear, and holy Mother, since I wrote a loving monitory letter to two of thine unworthy sons, which I heard were fled from thee in person, in affection, and somewhat in opinion, supposing them yet thine in the main substance; though in some circumstances their own. Since which, one of them hath washed off thy font-water as unclean, and hath written desperately both against thee and his own fellows. From the other, I received, not two months since, a stomachful pamphlet, besides the private injuries to the monitor, casting upon thine honourable name blasphemous imputations of apostasy, antichristianism, whoredom, rebellion. Mine own wrongs I could have contemned in silence, but for Sion´s sake I cannot hold my peace: if I remember not thee, O Jerusalem, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth. It were a shame and sin for me that my zeal should be less hot for thine innocency than theirs to thy false disgrace. How have I hastened therefore to let the world see thy sincere truth and their perverse slanders! Unto thy sacred name, then, whereto I have in all devoted myself, I humbly present this my speedy and dutiful labour, whereby I hope thy weak sons may be confirmed, the strong encouraged, the rebellious shamed. And if any shall still obstinately accurse thee, I refer their revenge unto thy glorious Head, who hath espoused thee to himself in truth and righteousness: let Him, whose thou art, right thee. In the mean time, we, thy true sons, shall not only defend, but magnify thee. Thou mayest be black, but thou art comely. The daughters have seen thee, and counted thee blessed, even the queen and the concubines, and they have praised thee: thou art thy Well-beloved´s, and his desire is towards thee. So let it be, and so let thine be towards him for ever, and mine towards you both, who am the least of all thy little ones.
