Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sixteen Years´ Preaching and Procedure: At Wareham, Ms. 1. The printed Memorial, Legal Opinion, and Result of Ex Parte Council, have made it indispensable to print these documents. Happily, I have no need to attempt a defence. These documents are my deeds, and carry with them their own explanations. The summary, in part, at pp. 172, 173, and three or four extracts from the Memorial, may assist comparison. I leave to the diligent curiosity of the reader the numerous foot notes, as I do to his candor, to conclude that many things not explained at all, cannot be, as they are made to appear. When I read in the Memorial what I have said, I cannot be too thankful that I have "said " almost nothing; and that the mistaken statements of written documents with which the Memorial abounds make it the fairest possible conclusion, that the reports of fugitive words are likely to be as wide of the mark. With no other defence than the cotemporary documents contain, I leave the Memorial, Legal Opinion, and Result of Ex Parte Council, as a trio of "unaccountables," most fittingly united, side by side with these declaratory acts, under the same category as I found the charges of 1838, with scarcely more need to vindicate myself than if the three documents united in pronouncing me of the bodily stature of three feet ten! 2. Besides the necessity, I have a right to the convenience of this pamphlet, to prevent, once for all, the occasion of speaking or writing of matters forced so extensively before the public ... Especially should that come to pass, which they say always does, in such cases, I choose to stand before the churches precisely as I am ; and if I cannot, with these papers in my hand, find place as a Christian pastor, then shall they be the explanation, both why I am cast out, and why I am kept out, of the ministry, to which I have been sincerely, earnestly, and, I have hoped, in some humble sense, faithfully devoted. And if the churches have nothing for me to do, I will do the best I can to find something to do myself, which shall not be unworthy of the closing life of a Christian missionary and minister. 3. These papers will not be useless, if they teach the Rev. Dr. Hitchcock, in his efforts for the "promotion of pence and love," under his singular but "greatest sacrifice," that of "having anything to do in allaying the spirit of variance," that the offices of arbiter and advocate are not fittingly united in the same person ; and that, if they were, it is as unsafe to undertake a cause before he knows it, as it is "prelatic " to put a clerical brother under his terms of non-interference.
