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."
