GILDAS SALVIANUS. THE REFORMED PASTOR: SHEWING THE NATURE OF THE PASTORAL WORK; ESPECIALLY IN PRIVATE INSTRUCTION AND CATECHISING: WITH AN OPEN CONFESSION OF OUR TOO OPEN SINS. PREPARED FOR A DAY OF HUMILIATION KEPT AT WORCESTER, DECEMBER 4, 1655, BY THE MINISTERS OF THAT COUNTY, WHO SUBSCRIBED AT THEIR ENTRANCE UPON THAT WORK. BY THE REV. RICHARD BAXTER. Ἐκεῖνος δὲ ὁ δοῦλος ὁ γνοὺς τὸ θέλημα τοῦ κυρίου ἑαυτοῦ, καὶ μὴ ἑτοιμάσας, LUKE xli. 47. LONDON: JAMES NISBET AND CO., 21 BERNERS STREET. M. DCCC.LX. 141.4.15. "If, without impropriety, I may refer here, as I believe I have done elsewhere, to the service which, during fifty-four years, I have been allowed to render to our great Master, I may declare my thankfulness in being able, in some small degree, to rejoice that the conversion of sinners has been my aim. I have made, next to the Bible, Baxter's “Reformed Pastor" my rule as regards the object of my ministry. It were well that volume were often read by all our pastors, -a study which I now earnestly recommend to them.” REV. J. ANGELL JAMES, in "Knill's Memoir," written a few hours before he died. |
