Puritan Preaching in England: A Study of Past and PresentHodder and Stoughton, 1900 - 290 pagina's In the hope that we may gain something of practical guidance and spiritual stimulus as preachers, I will ask you to go back with me into the past. And while the requirements of time and space will necessitate that we keep to one definite line, that of Puritan preaching and preachers, I will take leave to give a somewhat wide latitude to the term "Puritan" as meaning thereby those preachers who have laid more stress upon scripture than upon ecclesiastical institutions. - p. 9 |

Pagina 105 - But if any man buildeth on the foundation gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, stubble; each man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself shall prove each man's work of what sort it is.

Pagina 180 - If, in the paths of the world, Stones might have wounded thy feet, Toil or dejection have tried Thy spirit, of that we saw Nothing - to us thou wast still Cheerful, and helpful, and firm!

Pagina 174 - And this was the dialect which pierced the conscience and made the hearers cry out, Men and brethren, what shall we do ? It tickled not the ear, but it sunk into the heart, and when men came from such sermons they never commended the preacher for his taking voice or gesture ; for the fineness of such a simile or the quaintness of such a sentence; but they spoke like men conquered with the overpowering force and evidence of the most concerning truths, much in the words of the two disciples going to...
Pagina 50 - ... ye shall never find him idle I warrant you. And his office is to hinder religion, to maintain superstition, to set up idolatry, to teach all kind of popery.
Pagina 174 - This was the way of the Apostle's discoursing of things sacred. Nothing here ' of the fringes of the north star ; ' nothing 'of nature's becoming unnatural;' nothing of the ' down of angels' wings, or the beautiful locks of cherubims ; ' no starched similitudes introduced with a ' Thus have I seen a cloud rolling in its airy mansion,
