Evidence: | 'God... did cast into my hand, one day, a book of "Martin Luther", his comment on the "Galathians", so old that it was ready to fall piece from piece, if I did but turn it over... I found my condition in his experience, so largely and profoundly handled, as if his book had been written out of my heart... I do prefer this book of Mr "Luther" upon the 'Galathians' (excepting the Holy Bible) before all the books that ever I have seen, as most fit for a wounded conscience.' |
