Synopsis
Excerpt from The Works of the Reverend and Learned Isaac Watts, D.D
TO descend from such parents as yours, is no common favour of Heaven; nor is it the blessing of every descendant to inherit the natural virtues of his progenitors yet I know that you esteem your happiness incomplete, without the imitation of their heavenly graces, and the attainment of their sublimest hopes. Forgive me, dear Sir, if I take the liberty to say, it is with a sort of fond pleasure that I have beheld your victories over the most dangerous scenes and temptations of youth; and every step in your progress towards perfect triumph, is an addition to my joy. The world and the church hold their eyes fixed upon you, while God and angels, and, perhaps, the souls of your sacred ancestors, look down from on high to observe your conduct. Never was there a more proper time to awaken your zeal for the religion of Christ, than in a day of spreading infidelity and heathenism; nor can there be a fitter season to exert your utmost efforts for the support of serious piety, than in an age of numerous and growing iniquities. Your just sense of religious liberty will shine in its fairest glory, while you stand as a barrier against the fearful inroads of a wild and unbounded licentiousness. Nor can your attachment to the cause and interest of the Protestant Dissenters appear with more honour, than while they are.t defamed and scorned by the proud and the profane, and While their own imprudent contests stand in need of your candour and charity.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a discourse on death and the hereafter, delivered as a sermon in memory of a deceased couple. The author begins by emphasizing death's universality and its nature as an enemy to all mortals, but particularly to sinners. The sermon then turns to the central theme of death's ultimate destruction through the power of Christ. The author argues that while death remains an adversary, it is the final one that Christians must face, and its sting has been removed by Christ's sacrifice. Through Christ, the believer can face death with courage, knowing that it leads to a glorious future. The sermon concludes with a meditation on the blessings that await the faithful after death, including freedom from sin, suffering, and the presence of God. The author skillfully presents a comforting and hopeful message, reminding readers of the victory over death that is possible through faith in Christ.
