Excerpt from Richard Baxter
The victim of self-indulgence. On Baxter's return from Ludlow he found his old master, Owen, in the last stage of consumption, and at the desire of a neighbouring nobleman, he undertook the charge of a school. He began shortly after this to study in real earnest. A terrible break-down ensued. His health gave way en tirely; but he looked back upon this time as one of real spiritual growth. Few passages in the memoirs of saintly men are more touching and expressive than the simple recital he gives of his spiritual progress during this illness. In early years he had dreamt of literary distinction; but he was now convinced that his whole life must be spent in simple surrender of his powers to God. It is singular that the book, lent, it is said, by a poor man to his father, and to which he owed much of his first real interest in practical religion, known by the name of Bunny's Resolution, was written by a Jesuit of the name of Parsons, though edited by Bunny, a stern Puritan of the straitest sect.
