History

The Wisdom of God Manifested in the Works of the Creation. In Two Parts:   Viz. The heavens, bodies, elements, meteors, fossils, vegetables, animals (beasts, birds, fishes, and insects) more particularly in the Body of the Earth, its figure, motion, and consistency; and in the admirable structure of the bodies of Man and other Animals; as also in their Generation, & c.

THE true alliance between Politics and Religion is the lesson inculcated in this volume of Sermons, and apparent in its title,& quote; THE PULPIT OF THE REVOLUTION.& quote; It is the voice of the Fathers of the Republic, enforced by their example. They invoked God in their civil assemblies, called upon their chosen teachers of religion for counsel from the Bible, and recognized its precepts as the law of their public conduct. The Fathers did not divorce politics and religion, but they denounced the separation as ungodly. They prepared for the struggle, and went into battle, not as soldiers of fortune, but, like Cromwell and the soldiers of the Commonwealth, with the & quote; Word of God in their hearts, and trusting in him. This was the secret of that moral energy which sustained the Republic in its material weakness against superior numbers, and discipline, and all the power of England. To these Sermons the responses from the Pulpit the State affixed its imprimatur, and thus they were handed down to future generations with a two-fold claim to respect.

In writing the biographies of the chaplains and clergymen who bore a prominent part in our revolutionary struggle, I have thought proper to devote a few pages at the outset to the influence of the pulpit as an institution. In New England especially, which inaugurated the rebel lion, and on which fell so heavily the burden of carrying'it forward, the pulpit was a recognized power in the State, and its aid formally and earnestly invoked. To exhibit the religious element-in other words, present the religious phase of the Revolution. Individual clergymen might have been devoted patriots, and rendered efficient service to their country, and yet the pulpit as such deserve no more prominent place in the struggle than the profession of law or medicine because many of its members bore a distinguished part in it. The clergy, however, wielded a twofold power-as individuals and as representatives of a profession which in New England dominated the State. This diversion of the mind from armies to the God of armies is especially needed in our present crisis. Enthusiasm and numbers will not deliver us from the troubles that now overwhelm us. Penitence and humility will go farther than either, and whether the State turns as it did in the Revolution to the Church as its strongest support or not, we may rest assured, if its prayers do not save us, what ever success we may achieve will in the end prove a sad failure.
