Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Works of Abraham Booth, Vol. 1 of 3: Late Pastor of the Baptist Church Assembling in Little Prescot Street, Goodman's Fields, London; With Some Account of His Life and Writings
These pointed strictures upon a mode of procedure which, as it appears to the writer of this Memoir, is preg nant with serious evil to the churches of Christ, cannot be too often repeated; and their application to the case in hand is too obvious to need pointing out. Mr. Booth 'was fully aware that the change which his sentiments had undergone, was of such a nature as to render it utterly impossible for himself and his friends to walk any longer together in a way that would be productive of mutual comfort; and he had too much integrity to conceal the difference. The change itself was the fruit of deep con viction, and thus at a future period of his life we find his own pen recording it. The doctrine of sovereign, distinguishing grace, as commonly and justly stated by Calvinists, it must be acknowledged, is too generally ex ploded. This the writer of these pages knows by expo ricuce, to his grief and shame. Through the ignorance of his mind, the pride of his heart, and the prejudice of his education, he, in his younger years, often opposed it with much warmth, though with no small weakness; but after an impartial enquiry, and many prayers, he found reason to alter his judgment; he found it to be the doc trine of the Bible, and a dictate of the unerring Spirit. Thus patronized, he received the once obnoxious sen timent under a full conviction of its being a divine truth. 1'
