  1. John Stevens Cabot Abbott, Congregationalist minster, writes on the abuses of the pre-Reformation church. Torture, etc., was directed not just at theological reformers but also at “sympathizing hearts” who pleaded for the weak who were abused under feudalism.

    I have been surprised to see such themes in the writings of so many martyrs of reformation. Happens today?

    How can you exercise a sympathizing heart?

  5. Thomas Manton was an English Puritan. Here he writes on James 1:27, which says pure religion is visiting the suffering. Manton describes the relation as our showing mercy is the way we show interest in God’s mercy. Poetic symmetry. Not works righteousness.

    Do we want, instead, to show this interest in God’s love by means of telling people how many hours we spent in our morning devotions? How can you provide tangible help today?
