Book Description

Excerpt from Memoirs of the Lives and Writings of Those Eminent Divines, Who Convened in the Famous Assembly at Westminster, in the Seventeenth Century, Vol. 1 Among such respectable characters, the divines who assembled at Westminster, in the seventeenth century, may be justly ranked. Their names are truly illustrious, and worthy of being enrolled among the most celebrat cd characters of their age, or of their country. Their exemplary lives, and religious experiences, are most ex cellent mirrors of instruction, which may be highly bene ficial to all succheding generations. They willingly spent an active life, in propa ating the gospel of Jesus Christ, and in diffusing pro table and religious knowledge among mankind: and it may very justly be said of them, that they were really eyes to the blind. Whatever their hand could write, whatever their tongue could speak, whatever their head could devise, was most sof lemnly dedicated to the service of God, and to the cause of truth. They did much for the benefit of posterity, when corru iion was deeply rooted, and had widely ex tended it's aneful influence. They flourished, during the time of our Reformation, and were very active in promoting it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
