Excerpt from Sermons of John Baptist Massillon and Lewis Bourdaloue, Two Celebrated French Preachers: Also, a Spiritual Paraphrase of Some of the Psalms, in the Form of Devout Meditations and PrayersThe two first Sermons in this volume were preached by Massillon to a Synod, and the third to a number of young ministers, at a College. Some of the observations in these discourses may not be applicable to the Clergy of this country but the getter al strain of them is applicable to all the mirr isters of Christ, and in them they will see many parts of their duty strikingly inculca ted, and ministerial faithfulness urged by weighty metives. The necessity of zeal and engagedness in their work, the charac teristics of true ministerial zeal, and the spirit of the ministry, are here illustrated with great force and beauty.The fourth Sermon by Massillon, and the fifth by bourdaioue, are upon a common though all will acknowledge a very impor' tant subject. The closing scene of life is a very interesting period in man's existence, and one on which every person ought ftc quently to meditate.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
