Description
Excerpt from Church History of New England, From 1620 to 1804: Containing a View of the Principles and Practice, Declensions and Revivals, Oppression and Liberty of the Churches, and a Chronological Table
Few Of his favoured brethren Of this generation, are adequately impressed with a sense Of their indebtedness to the labours Of this departed champion Of their cause. He was unquestionably one Of the most useful ministers that has ever appeared among the American Baptists. For fifty years, he was a laborious servant Of their churches; and for more than half this period, he diligently devoted what time he could spare from professional du ties, to historical researches. The vast fund Of materials which he thus accumulated, must have sunk into entire Oblivion, had it not been for his unwearied care. As a preacher he was entirely evangelical: pungency, pathos and power, characterized many of his discourses, which though unornamented with rhetorical language, were richly stored with scriptural truth.
