Book Description
Excerpt from The Life of the Rev. Thomas Scott, D.D., Rector of Aston Sandford, Bucks: Including a Narrative Drawn Up by Himself, and Copious Extracts of His Letters Others may view, not without jealousy, a person who, by his own showing, was once "far off" from God and from goodness, represented as eminently brought nigh; distinguished by the divine blessing, and by great usefulness in the church of Christ. The real and well informed Christian, however, will regard the mighty change with far other feelings: and to all descriptions of persons his family and friends would say, If we glory in our revered relative, it is not in what he was by nature, but in what he became by divine grace: or, to express the sentiment in terms which would have been still more consonant to his own principles and feelings, We "glorify God in him." Some may perhaps object to the full disclosure that is made of those circumstances of his history and character, which always humbled him in his own sight, and which may tend to abase him in the view of worldly or pharisaical persons. There remained however not much of this nature to be added to the confessions of The Force of Truth: his supplemental narrative, included in this volume, was all written in the same unreserved style: and it appeared to me that it would be unworthy of his biographer, as it would certainly have been contrary to his own wishes, to attempt any suppression of what neither could nor needed to be concealed. It is more than possible that the publication of so detailed a story, concerning a clergyman of humble station, may appear to many a proceeding altogether calling for - perhaps scarcely admitting of - apology.

Excerpt from book: more decidedly religious, we may have future opportunities of discerning. Indeed justice requires the remark, that this whole series of letters, from the very first, conveys a more favorable impression, than his own report would have led us to expect, of his social character. The constant, copious, and confidential correspondence kept up with his sisters would, of itself, be a very favorable indication upon this subject. But, in addition to this, the letters throughout breathe strong affection to all his family, and shew him to have taken a lively interest in their concerns; and to have been zealous to serve them, as well as qualified to do so by great acute- ness and sound sense. CHAPTER III. FROM HIS ORDINATION TO HIS MARRIAGE. We now proceed to contemplate the subject of our memoirs in his new and higher character of a minister of the established church. After the ordination, having officiated on two Sundays at Martin, in almost an empty church, (for service was very seldom performed there, ) I removed to Stoke. Goldington, and entered on my new curacies; boarding with a parishioner for twenty guineas a year. My regular services were at Stoke and Weston Underwood: hut my rector was sub-dean of Lincoln; and, when he went thither into residence, he procured other supplies for Weston, and I officiated at Gayhurst, where George Wrighte, Eq. had a seat. This scon brought me acquainted with the family. Mr. W. was a descendant of Sir Nathan Wrighte, Lord Keeper in the reign of Queen Anne: and Mrs. W. was the only daughter of Sir Joseph Jekyll, Master of the Rolls, by Lady Anne, daughter of the Earl of Halifax. They were wealthy and liberal, and lived in a most hospitable manner. They had b, een married several years, but had only one son; quite a child, who was consi.
