Excerpt from Lectures on the Memory of the Just: Being a Series of Discourses on the Lives and Times of the Ministers of Mill Hill Chapel, Leeds, From Its Foundation in A. D. 1673, to the Commencement of the Nineteenth Century, With a Farewell Sermon, Delivered on the 14th of March, 1847
When a righteous man dieth, they of his own time mourn his departure, and record with melancholy plea sure the excellencies that were in him. He is in their hearts and their mouths so long as they live. Children who knew the estimation in which their Fathers held him, and who perhaps have themselves shared in the good man's smile, and received the good man's blessing, also hold him in an enfeebled it may be, though still an honoured remembrance. But the generation that had per sonal knowledge of him having passed away, he becomes no more than an occasional tradition. Some incident te calls his name to memory, some monument still records his virtues, or some study of the past endows his life with a recovered but momentary reality.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the history of Protestant Nonconformity in England, specifically focusing on the experiences of ministers and congregations in and around Leeds during the 17th and 18th centuries. The author expertly weaves together historical accounts, personal diaries, and theological discussions to paint a vivid picture of the struggles and triumphs of those who dissented from the Church of England. The narrative unfolds against the backdrop of significant events such as the Act of Uniformity, the Five Mile Act, and the rise of Presbyterianism and Unitarianism. Readers are introduced to key figures like Oliver Heywood and Joseph Priestley, whose unwavering commitment to religious freedom shaped the course of Nonconformist history. This book explores themes of conscience, persecution, and the evolving nature of religious identity. It delves into the complexities of theological debates, political maneuvering, and the personal sacrifices made by those who dared to challenge the established church. Ultimately, this book offers a profound reflection on the enduring legacy of Nonconformity and its impact on the pursuit of religious liberty and individual expression.
