… campaigner for educational reform
Public School expert Edward C. Mack said the poet William Cowper was a lone voice in campaigning for reform in eighteenth century English schools 1 . This may surprise poetry lovers who have not yet discovered Cowper’s writings on education. Cowper’s most neglected long poem Tirocinium or a Review of Schools, for instance, deals in detail with educational reform. Parents thinking of home-schooling their children as a legal alternative …

Taken from pp. 48-49, 52-54 in William Huntington: Pastor of Providence.
My reason for publishing this account of William Carey and his Indian mission on my website.
On 18-21 February, 2010 a conference will be held at Muscle Shoals, Alabama under the theme ‘The Quagmire of Hyper-Calvinism’. The key speaker will be Dr. Michael Haykin who will lecture on Andrew Fuller as a missionary pioneer. The myth that Andrew Fuller pioneered a missionary movement is superstitiously believed by Dr. Haykin and his …
Reflections on Some Recent Banner of Truth Criticisms Regarding William Huntington and Avarice

… of churches on a sinecure basis which brought them in huge sums. Others such as Dr John Cowper, William Cowper’s father, combined his pastorate with a lucrative sinecure governmental position. Be that as it may, when the news of Huntington’s salary travelled through the London churches, pastored by ex-public school boys and university graduates who were often paid far less, criticism grew. How could an untrained labourer earn as much as a university graduate? Thomas Scott, who always …
… absorbed into the British Empire and in 1800, Lord Wellesley, the Governor-General, founded Fort William College at Calcutta for the instruction of imperial civil servants. Chaplain David Brown, a faithful and energetic Anglican supporter of the Mission, was chosen by Wellesley as Provost. Brilliant scholars were appointed for the various posts and Brown insisted that Carey was the man most fitted to become Professor of Bengali as he had shown his academic abilities in his translation work …
Sir:
It is understandable that one who identified himself so closely with the English Reformers, Whitfield and the Marrow Men should be criticised by Arminians. For Huntington, Arminians were Antinomians who rejected the condemning and convicting use of the law in evangelism, inviting sinners to approach God “as if they had never apostatized”. They believed that man was not …

… Greek, there being no English word of exact equivalence at the time for at-one-ment.
William Tyndale probably coined the word. In his A Pathway into the Holy Scriptures, he speaks of sinners through the work of Christ being, “loosed, justified, restored to life and saved, brought to liberty and reconciled unto the favour of God, and set at one with him again.” Fellow-martyr Philpot uses the term in his translation of Coelio Secundo Curio’s Defence of Christ’s Church …

Portraits of Faithful Saints

… Perkins or whoever, is mentioned by Hanko as a ‘Faithful Saint’. In Henry VIII’s reign, William Tyndale (c.1490-1536) is given due prominence and rightly so. Yet Tyndale was not the first man to complete a translation of the Bible as Hanko states. He was martyred after only completing the New Testament and parts of the Old which he had translated with the help of Coverdale, and, some say, Luther. To Miles Coverdale (1488-1569) belongs this honour, yet Hanko ignores him.

… righteousness first imputed to them and then made conscious in them through God-given faith. This Tyndale taught in Pathway to the Holy Scriptures and Prologue to Romans. The Anglican Homily on Justification stresses that “justification is the office of God alone, and is not a thing which we render unto Him, but which we receive of Him.” For Cranmer, faith acts on but not prior to justification given to believers before creation through the imputation of Christ’s righteousness. …
