Excerpt from A Collection of the Promises of the Gospel, Arranged Under Their Propre Heads: With Reflections and Exhortations Deduced From Them
The worthy Author of this Collection, whom I have long known with Esteem and Honour, has chosen to reduce all the most useful and important Promises of the Word of god into Order, and set them before us here. These are the most powerful Motives to Duty; these are the constant Food of a living Chris tian, as well as his highest Cordials in a fainting Hour. And in such a World as this, where Duties perpetually demand our Practice, and Difficulties and Trials are ever surrounding us, what can we do better than to treasure up the Promises in our Hearts, which are the most effec tual Persuasives to fulfil the one, and sustain the other? Here are laid up the true Riches of a Christian, and his highest Hopes on this side Heaven.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the historical significance and enduring legacy of the "Bartholomew Men," a group of English clergymen who, in 1662, were ejected from the Church of England for their nonconformist beliefs. The author explores the events leading up to their expulsion, including the Savoy Conference and the Act of Uniformity, shedding light on the complex religious and political landscape of 17th-century England. The narrative traces the evolution of nonconformist thought and practice, highlighting the gradual shift in many congregations from Trinitarian doctrines to Unitarianism. This theological transformation is examined alongside the establishment of educational institutions and charitable organizations by the dissenting community, demonstrating their resilience and commitment to intellectual and social progress. The book's exploration of religious dissent, educational initiatives, and evolving theological perspectives offers valuable insights into a pivotal period in English history. By illuminating the struggles and triumphs of the Bartholomew Men and their descendants, the author underscores the enduring power of individual conscience and the ongoing quest for religious freedom.
