This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Excerpt: ... it affords a solid and substantial comfort to the penitent. On the contrary, the doctrine is as wholesome as it is obvious; it renders habits of virtue necessary to all, whilst it supplies a mighty incitement to the sinner, ' by purging his conscience from dead works, to serve the living God;' and, by removing the weight of his present guilt, enables him cheerfully to ' run the race that is set before him/ and, with confidence, to aim at ' the prize of his high calling. ' " But in the present eagerness to depreciate the use and efficacy of this rite, it is probable we shall be still asked, of what need at all is a rite, the conditions of which, faith and repentance, are, in a general view, considered as of themselves effectual to procure salvation ? Which question I shall answer by applying it to the other sacraments; what need is there of baptism ? yet the injunction is, ' repent and be baptized.' One step farther: What need of any external means ? Yet the Divine wisdom hath found them expedient in every religious dispensation. If the question could be asked by any sober inquirer, I should reply respecting both these sacraments, that they are necessary external means : " First, to be the instituted expressions before God of our faith and repentance. " Secondly, to be each as an offering of ourselves, of our souls and bodies, a pledge to him of our future obedience. " Thirdly, to be pledges to us of God's acceptance. " Fourthly, as solemn professions of our agreement in Christ; without which there can be no church communion. " Fifthly, to remind us constantly, that all our hopes of pardon and acceptance rest upon the sacrifice of Christ's death." " And would it" not be reasonable to expect, that the religious use of rites of such importance, by their practical i...

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press.

The Age of Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking. Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade.

Excerpt: ... he north country) the master is ignorant of it himself; and if so, he always considers his ignorance as a misfortune, caused by a defect in the system of the seminary where he was educated. It may be observed, that many scholars of the northern counties, in consequence of neglecting Latin prosody and the composition of Latin verse, want, amidst all the profundity of philosophy, and subtilty of metaphysics, that gracefulness and urbanity of style and manner, which are only to be acquired by a faithful study of classical rhythm and harmony. It is observed, that there have been fewer polite and distinguished scholars or authors in Wales than in any other part of the country.* May not this be attributed to the paucity of grammar schools in the principality ? It is, indeed, a formidable phalanx that I introduce to militate against the grammar schools, while I pro-r fess to be their ally and auxiliary; but I do it with confidence, well knowing that the enemy, in this department at least, is but poorly furnished with weapons, to fight, not indeed against me, but against that formidable opponent, experience. It is scarcely necessary to mention Locke's ab.c surdities on the subject of education. Great as is his name, every unprejudiced, candidj and sensible mind must observe and admit, that his notions on education are often contradicted by unerring experience. Let him, however, stand forward and speak for himself. " You must confess," says he, " that you have a strange value for words, when, preferring the languages of the ancient Greeks and Romans to that which made them such brave men, you think it worth while to hazard your son's innocence and virtue, for a little Greek and Latin, by giving him a public education." Were these, then, I ask, always safe in pri...

Excerpt: ... not merely in teaching doctrinal notions, but in the actual conduct of life, let us hear the declaration of Lord Chief Justice Hale, whose example I select, because he was a layman, a man deeply conversant in the business of the world, a great lawyer, and therefore may contribute. to prove, that they who value themselves on their worldly sagacity, and frequently consider the affairs of religion as trifles, compared with the contests for property and the concerns of jurisprudence, need not, in the most active life and most exalted stations, be ashamed of the' Gospel of Christ. " I can call," says he, " my own Experience to witness, that even in the external actions, occurrences " and incidents of my whole life, I was never disappoint" ed of the best guidance and direction, when in humility, " and a sense of deficiency, and diffidence of my own " ability to direct myself, or to grappel with the difficul" ties of my life, I have implored the secret guidance of " the divine Wisdom and Providence." _______ __-- section xxiii. Temperance necessary to the Reception and Continuance of the Holy Spirit in the Heart, and consequentlyHo the Evidence of Christianity afforded by Divine Illumination, The Apostle says, Be not drunk with ivine, wherein is excess; but be filled vdth the Spirit. The word o-Ti in the original, here rendered excess, corresponds with the Latin prodigalitas, which, in the Roman law, characterised the spendthrift and debauchee, incapable, from his vices, of managing his own affairs, and Eph. v. 18. therefore placed by the prstor under the guardianship of trustees, without whose concurrence he could perform, no legal act. He was considered as an infant and an idiot. The words of the Apostle may then be thus...
