Description

""Sermons On Evil Speaking"" is a collection of sermons by Isaac Barrow, an English theologian and mathematician who lived in the 17th century. The book is a treatise on the sin of speaking ill of others, and the damage it can cause to both the speaker and the person being spoken about. Barrow argues that evil speaking is not only morally wrong, but also violates the principles of charity and Christian love. He uses examples from the Bible and classical literature to illustrate his points, and offers practical advice on how to avoid the temptation to engage in such behavior. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, and provides valuable insights into the nature of gossip and slander. It is a timeless work that remains relevant today, and is a must-read for anyone interested in ethical and moral philosophy.It is then the duty of all Christian people (to be taught and pressed on them) not to reproach, or speak evil of any man. The which duty, for your instruction, I shall first endeavour somewhat to explain, declaring its import and extent; then, for your further edification, I shall inculcate it, proposing several inducements persuasive to the observance of it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
