Book Description
Excerpt from The Works of President Edwards, Vol. 5 of 10 Christian, that there should be that which is so divine and precious, as the saving grace of God, dwelling in the same heart with so much cor ruption, hypocrisy, and iniquity, in a particular saint. Yet neither of these is more mysterious than real. And neither of them is a new thing. It is no new thing, that much false religion should prevail at a time of great revival; and that, at such a time, multitudes of hype crites should spring up among true saints. It was so in that great re formation, and revival of religion, in J osiah's time, as appears by Jer. Iii. 10, and iv. 3, 4; and also by the great apostacy there was in the land so soon after his reign. SO it was in that great out-pouring of the Spi rit upon the Jews, in the days of john the baptist, as appears by the great apostacy of that people, so soon after so general an awakening, and the temporary religious comforts and joys of many; John v. 35. Ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light. So it was in those great commotions among the multitude, occasioned by the preaching of Jesus Christ. Of the many that were then called, but few were chosen; of the multitude that were roused and affected by his preaching - and at one time or other appeared mightily engaged, full of admiration of Christ, and elevated with joy - but few were true disciples, that stood the shock of trials, and endured to the end. Many were like the stony or thorny ground and but few, comparatively, like the good ground. Of the whole heap that was gathered, great part was chaff, that the wind af terwards drove away; and the heap of wheat that was left, was compa ratively small, as appears abundantly by the history of the New Testa ment. So it was in that great outupouriug of the Spirit in the Apes tles' days; as appears by Matth. Xxiv. 10 - 13, Gal. Iii. 1. And iv. 11, 15. Phil. Ii. 21. And iii. 18, 19; the two epistles to the Corinthians, and many other parts of the New Testament. And so it was in the great reformation from Popery. It appears plainly to have been in the visible church of God, in times of great revivals as it is with the fruit trees in the spring; there are multitudes of blossoms, which appear fair and beautiful, and there is a promising appearance of young fruits but many of them are of short continuance they soon fall off, and ne ver come to maturity.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Works of President Edwards, Vol. 3 of 4: In Four Volumes There IS no question whatsoever, that is of greater importance to mankind and that it more concerns every individual person to be well resolved in, than this What are the distinguishing qualifications of those that are in favor with God, and entitled to his eternal rewards Or, which comes to the Same thing, What is the nature of true religion? And wherein do lie the distinguishing notes of that virtue and holiness that is acceptable in the sight of God But though it be of such importance, and though we have clear and abundant light in the word of God to direct us in this matter, yet there is no one oint, wherein professing Christians do more differ one from another. It would be endtess to reckon up the variety of Opinions in this point, that divide the Christian world; making manifest the truth of that declaration of our Saviour, Strait is the gate and narrow is the way, that leads to life, and few there be that find it. The consideration of these things has long engaged me to attend to this matter, with the utmost diligence and care, and exactness of search and inquiry, that I have been ca able of. It is a subject on which my mind has been peculiarly intent, ever since I rst entered on the study of divinity. But as to the success of my inquiries, it must be left to the judgment of the reader of the following treatise.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Works of President Edwards, Vol. 8 of 10: With a Memoir of His Life Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas; and brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? We have here and in the context an account of the conversion of the jailer, which is one of the most remarkable instances of the kind in the scriptures. The jailer before seems not only to have been wholly insensible to the things of religion, but to have been a persecutor, and to have persecuted these very men, Paul and Silas; though he now comes to them in so earnest a manner, asking them what he must do to be saved. We are told in the context that all the magistrates and multitude of the city rose up jointly in a tumult against them, and took them, and cast them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely. Whereupon he thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks. And it is probable he did not act in this merely as the servant or instrument of the magistrates, but that he joined with the rest of the people in their rage against them, and that he did what he did urged on by his own will, as well as the magistrates' commands; which made him execute their commands with such rigour. But when Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises at midnight, and there was suddenly a great earthquake, and God had in so wonderful a manner set open the prison doors, and every man's bands were loosed, he was greatly terrified; and in a kind of desperation, was about to kill himself. But Paul and Silas crying out to him, "do thyself no harm, for we are all here," then he called for a light, and sprang in, as we have the account in the text. We may observe, 1. The objects of his concern. He is anxious about his salvation: he is terrified by his guilt, especially by his guilt in his ill treatment of these ministers of Christ. He is concerned to escape from that guilty state, the miserable state, he was in by reason of sin. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
