Baptist Beliefs F includes the works of Andrew Fuller, the late pastor of the Baptist Church at Kettering, written in the 19th century.
The following is taken from the first volume of the Complete Works of Rev. Andrew Fuller updated and edited by his sons.
Section 1 - 1754 to 1776 The celebrity attained by the subject of the following Memoir was in no degree attributable to adventitious aids of birth or education. Possessing no other advantage than were open to the son of any farmer in the middle of the last century, Mr. Fuller was indebted to no one, except for the barest rudiments of English instruction, as many of his earlier manuscripts sufficiently evince. He was born February 6th, 1754, at Wicken, near Ely, Cambridgeshire, for several senturies the residence of his paternal ancestors, some of whom, as well as those on his mother's side, had been distinguished for piety and sufferings in the cause of Christ. In order to avoid the persecutions of the heartless and profligate Charles II., they were accustomed to meet in teh woods of Cambridgeshire, with Holcroft and Oddy, two eminent ejected ministers, the former of whom had been the medium of conversion to one of them. |
