To my dearly beloved Friends, The Inhabitants of BRIDGNORTH, Both Magistrates and People. Richard Baxter Devoteth this Part of this TREATISE.
In Testimony of his unfeigned love to them, who were the first, to whom he was sent (as fixed) to publish the Gospel. And in thankfulness to the Divine Majesty, who there privileged and protected him.
In Testimony of his unfeigned love to them, who were the first, to whom he was sent (as fixed) to publish the Gospel. And in thankfulness to the Divine Majesty, who there priviledged and protected him.
Humbly beseeching the God of Mercy, both to save them from that spirit of Pride, Separation, and Levity, which hath long been working among them; and also to awake them throughly from their negligence and security, by his late heavy judgments on them: And that as the flames of War have consumed their houses, so the Spirit of God may consume the ⟨image 105⟩sin that was the cause: And by those flames they may be effectually warned to prevent the everlasting flames: And that their new-built houses may have new-born Inhabitants: And that the next time God shall search and try them, he may not find one house among them, where his Word is not daily studied and obeyed, and where they do not fervently call upon his Name.
