Présentation de l'éditeur

Singularity, Stubornness, Pride, and Rebellion, as if he were not fit to live or have a beingin the worldj he being rendered a snakebate, a seditious and common disturber of ail kingdoms, cities, towns and villages, where soever he comes and is entertained; yea, uch a factious and quarrelsome companion that he is indeed the only cause and stirer Upof all those unliappy differences, divisions, troubles and miseries that are this day in the world. This being so, I concludethat it is more necessary than to take off that Id mask or vizor, which his implacable eighbors have put upon him, and clear him-selfoithose foul and unjust slanders, and curbed reproaches of the sons of Belial; that so he may appear in his own original, primitive and spotless iniaocency, that none may fee afraid of him, orbe unwilling to entertain Jiim, nor ashamed to own him, and make him their bosomx companion. Godliness described. Know ye therefor Ci in the first place, that Godliness consists ia the true and right-knowiege of divine truth rfundamental principles of the Gospel; which all men ought to know and be established in, that would be saved. Without contronjersy great is the mysterij of Godliness.

Biographie de l'auteur

Benjamin Keach (29 February 1640 – 18 July 1704) was a Particular Baptist preacher in London whose name was given to Keach's Catechism. Originally from Buckinghamshire, Keach worked as a tailor during his early years. He was baptized at the age of 15 and began preaching at 18. He was the minister of the congregation at Winslow before moving in 1668 to the church at Horse-lie-down, Southwark where he remained for 36 years as pastor (1668-1704). This congregation later became the New Park Street Church and then moved to the Metropolitan Tabernacle under the pastorship of Charles Spurgeon. It was as representative of this church that Keach went to the 1689 General Assembly and subscribed the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith. Keach was one of the seven men who sent out the invitation to the 1689 General Assembly. The signing of the confession was no mute doctrinal assent on the part of the church, for in the same year they entered into a Solemn Covenant which reflected, at the practical and congregational level, some of the doctrines of the confession. There was a secession from Horse-lie-down in 1673 and the Old Kent Road congregation was formed. Spurgeon later republished the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith for use in the congregation. Keach wrote 43 works, of which his "Parables and Metaphors of Scripture" may be the best known. He wrote a work entitled "The Child's Instructor" which immediately brought him under persecution and he was fined and pilloried in 1664. He is attributed with the writing of a catechism commonly known as "Keach's Catechism", although it is most likely that the original was compiled by William Collins. Keach is also known to have promoted the introduction of hymn singing in the Baptist churches.
