Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memoir of Selina, Countess of Huntingdon The great events now in progress, render this new Life of Lady Huntingdon a timely re-publication. But, in issuing it from a Church press, some explanatory observations are deemed advisable. It is hardly possible for us to conceive the spiritual state of England in 1735. The rulers of the Church were ignorant of the Gospel, and generally opposed to all measures for its revival, some from constitutional arrogance, others from worldliness and prejudice. The nobility and upper classes were either utterly indifferent, or openly infidel. The rudeness and depravity of the common people answered in full to the picture of it drawn by Mr. Foster, in his Essay on "Popular Ignorance;" while the few zealous ones here and there, were, for the most part, walking in the moon-light Gospel of Mr. Law. One of this class was the mother of 11 the Wesleys, whose experience, as described by the younger, may still be read upon her tomb in Bunhill Fields, though she came to the light at the eleventh hour: "True daughter of affliction, she, Inured to pain and misery, Wept a long night of grief and fears, A legal night of seventy years." It is impossible to appreciate the subsequent history of religion without keeping these facts in view. Some might wish to see them suppressed, especially such delinquencies of high officers in the Church as occasionally appear in the following Memoir, and in every faithful history of the times.
