The Travels of True Godliness - Paperback

The church discovering his piety and talents, about three years afterwards, in 1658, called him to the solemn work of the ministry. He was now in his 18th year, and for about two years he pursued his work with great comfort and success, and much to the edification of those who heard him. The Baptists in the part where he lived, generally held the sentiments of the Remonstrants, or Arminians, and from these he imbibed and maintained it; till on coming to London, where he had an opportunity of consulting both men and books, he found that the different opinions upon these subjects had given rise to two denominations of Baptists. Examining this point more closely, he in a few years came to a clear understanding of the Calvinistic sentiments, and continued to maintain them during life. In the year 1664, he wrote a little book, which many of his friends wished him to publish for the use of their children. This request he complied with, and entitled it. The Child's Instructor or a New and Easy Primer.
