Twelve sermons preach'd on several publick occasions. By George Marsh, A.M. Vicar of Milton-Abbas in the county of Dorset, and diocese of Bristol. Tho' the preaching of Christ crucified was of old to the Jews a Stumbling-Block, and to the Greek Philosophers Foolishness; tho' this happened under the apostolical Administration, and therefore we have no Reason to wonder that it is so much slighted and despised under our weak one; yet still it is the Ordinance of God, and as necessary now for the Support of the Christian Religion, as it was at first for the propagating it in the World.
Marsh, George, 1674 or 1675-1737.Date: MDCCXXXVII. [1737]- Books
