Seite v - I wished to be in, in the last minutes of my life. For that pattern which I saw in him, and for that conversation which I had with him, I know how much I have to answer to God : and though my reflecting on that which I knew in him gives me just cause of being deeply humbled in myself, and before God; yet I feel no more sensible pleasure in any thing, than in going over in my thoughts all that I saw and observed in him.

Seite 316 - BAXTER was a man famous for weakness of body and strength of mind ; for having the strongest sense of religion himself, and exciting a sense of it in the thoughtless and profligate ; for preaching more sermons, engaging in more controversies, and writing more books, than any other Nonconformist of his age.
Seite 314 - His practical writings were never mended, and his controversial ones seldom confuted."
