Book Description
Excerpt from A History of the Church From the Earliest Ages to the Reformation, Vol. 1 of 3 I have been sorry to observe that the account which I have published, and to which I still adhere, of the original constitution of the Church, has given offence to some respectable sectarians; and those gentlemen will learn, perhaps with surprise, that the same account has equally disappointed the views of some learned and zealous divines within the Church. Thus doubly unfortunate, I can only seek consolation, under the dissatisfaction of the one party, in the oppo site murmurs of the other: secure in the reflection, that, in our common liability to error, the more mode rate generally proves the wiser judgment; and that extreme opinions seldom long survive the controversies which have given them birth. Such errors as I have discovered in the revisal of the work have been anxiously removed. To the friendly suggestions that have been made to me by others, I have applied, with advantage and gratitude, my most careful consideration. Yet is it a harder task than some imagine to thread the entangled paths of ecclesiastical contention. It is not enough to possess an earnest desire to arrive at just conclusions.

Book Description
Excerpt from A History of the Church: From the Earliest Ages to the Reformation An attempt to compress into the following pages the ecclesiastical history of fifteen centuries, requires some previous explanation, lest any should imagine that this undertaking ha 3 been entered upon rashly, and without due consideration of its difficulty. This is not the case; I am not blind to the various and even opposite dangers which beset it; and least of all am I insensible to the peculiar and most solemn importance of the subject. But I approach it with deliberation as well as reverence, willing to consecrate to Gods service the fruits of an insufficient, but not careless diligence, and also trusting, by His divine aid, to preserve the straight path which leads through truth unto wisdom. The principles by which I have been guided require no preface; they will readily develops themselves, as they are the simplest in human nature. But, respecting the general plan which has been followed in the conduct of this work, a few words appear to be necessary. In the first place I have abandoned the method of division by centuries, which has too long perplexed ecclesiastical history, and have endeavoured to regulate the partition by the dependence of connected events, and the momentous revolutions which have arisen from it. It is one advantage in this plan, that it has very frequently enabled me to collect under one head, to digest by a single effort, and present, in one uninterrupted view, materials bearing in reality upon the same point, but which, by the more usual method, are separated and distracted. It is impossible to ascertain the proportions or to estimate the real weight of any single subject amidst the events which surround it it is impossible to draw from it those sober and applicable conclusions which alone distinguish history from romance, unless we bring the corresponding portions into contact, in spite of the interval which time may have thrown between them: for time has scattered his lessons over the records of humanity with a profuse but careless hand, and both the diligence and the judgment of man must be exercised to collect and arrange them, so as to extract from their combined qualities the true odor of wisdom. It is another advantage in the method which I have adopted, that it affords greater facility to bring into relief and illustrate matters which are really important and have had lasting effects; since it is chiefly by fixing attention and awakening reflection on those great phenomena which have not only stamped a character on the age to which they belong, but have influenced the conduct and happiness of after ages, that history asserts her prerogative above a journal or an index, not permitting thought to be dispersed nor memory wasted upon a minute narration of detached incidents and transient and inconsequential details. And, in this matter, I admit that my judgment has been very freely exercised in proportioning the degree of notice to the permanent weight and magnitude of events. As regards the treatment of particular branches of this subject, all readers are aware how zealously the facts of ecclesiastical history have been disputed, and how frequently those differences have been occasioned or widened by the peculiar opinions of the disputants. Respecting the former, it is sufficient to say that the limits of this work obviously prevent the author from pursuing and unfolding all the intricate perplexities of critical controversy. I have, therefore, generally contented myself, in questions of ordinary moment, with following, sometimes even without comment, what has appeared to me to be the more probable conclusion, and of signifying it as probable only. Respecting the latter, I have found it the most difficult, as it is certainly among the weightiest of my duties, to trace the opinions which have divided Christians in every age regarding matters of high import both in doctrine and discipline.
