About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1818. Excerpt: ... those hundred persons I named before. I cannot say of one of these, "Black is their eye." They make the Word of God the Rule and the Pattern of their Actions. We need but look into their lives and carriage, to know how the primitive Christians lived. There are many of them persons of great quality, but the height of their condition does not exalt their mind. Their Religion consists not barely in knowing or discoursing ot what is good, but in practising what they know. They cherish no sin in themselves, and countenance none in another. Good doctrine is weakened much with ill life; and, therefore, he that will do good upon others, must (like Sir Henry Ashhurst, and Captain Pitts, &c.) go in the way of Salvation himself. But their pious care does not extend to themselves alone; for they are good to all, especially to the Household of Faith. Their moderation and their charity are of the same piece with their piety; it is universal, not confined to sects and parties. They are zealous promoters of the Reformation of Manners (especially Colonel Colchester and Mr. Yates); and their hatred of sin is sincere and impartial. They love nothing too well; no, not themselves. They think of the pleasures of this world either as sins, or occasions of it; and the other more necessary things of it, though they have their presence, yet they have not their heart. They let not the changes of this world make them either fond of life or weary of it. They count the goodness, and not the length, of their live, as the measure of their happiness; and though their bodies are not yet in Heaven, their hearts are there. I am apt to think the pious Barker copied " Right Christianity" from their practice; for, by the short interview I had with them, I found them the living original of that...
