Book Description

Excerpt from St. Paul and Protestantism, Vol. 9: With an Essay on Puritanism and the Church of England and Last Essays on Church and Religion 'We often read the Scripture without comprehending its full meaning; however, let us not be discouraged. The light, in God's good time, will break out, and disperse the darkness and we shall see the mysteries of the Gospel.' Bishop Wilson. 'With them (the Puritans) nothing is more familiar than to plead in their causes the Law of God, the Word of the Lord; who notwithstanding, when they come to allege what word and what law they mean, their common ordinary practice is to quote by-speeches, and to urge them as if they were written in most exact form of law. What is to add to the Law of God if this be not? Hooker. 'It will be found at last, that unity, and the peace of the Church, will conduce more to the saving of souls, than the most specious sects, varnished with the most pious, specious pretences.' Bishop Wilson. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
