In addition to the above, Mr. Fuller wrote several papers in the Baptist Magazine, and other works; a list of which cannot be obtained for insertion in this place without delaying the publication. He had also begun several important works, which though not finished, are far too excellent to be consigned to oblivion; and which I had planned connecting with this Memoir, after the manner of Cecil's Life and Remains. But, on farther consideration, it was thought better to defer them, to be probably inserted in the last volume of his Works, which the family are preparing to publish, in a uniform edition. He lately began, at my request, a System of Divinity, to be continued in monthly letters; but his sickness and death prevented my receiving more than nine. He had also commenced long ago a very important work against Antinomianism;* and another treatise on Spiritual Pride. He left an unfinished manuscript on the Composition of a Sermon. And Letters between Archippus and Epaphras, illustrating the scriptural mode of treating an awakened sinner; and two or three excellent Sermons have been taken down or written out pretty Jargely. Most of these may yet be presented to the public. A small edition of this manuscript has been recently printed, at the urgent request of some judicious friends of different denominations, who considered it too important to be suppressed, and peculiarly suited to the present times. CHAP. VII. Mr. Fuller's unwearied Exertions in behalf of the Baptist Missionary Society-The Rise of that Society-Sending out of Messrs. Thomas and Carey-Specimens of Mr. Fuller's Correspondence with the Missionaries-His Journies into Scotland; connected with Observations on the state of Religion there, and the Sandemanian Controversy; Conversation with a Jew and other Travellers, &c. WITH regard to Mr. Fuller's active concern for the welfare of the Baptist Mission, from his appointment as Secretary at it's first formation, till his death, it is impossible to do full justice to his indefatigable zeal, his assiduous attention to whatever could promote it's welfare, and the uncommon prudence with which he conducted all measures that related to it at home, and gave counsel to those that needed it most abroad. The excellent Pearce, while he was living, selected the Periodical Accounts, inspected the printing, aided much in the collections; but this advantage was not long enjoyed. His brother Sutcliff was almost all the time near at hand, and Mr. Fuller was greatly assisted by his prudence and judgment, on every emergency; and he repeatedly accompanied him in his journeys to the northern parts of this island. But Mr. Fuller's own counsels and labours in a great variety of ways were, under God, of the most essential service from first to last. As to the immediate origin of a Baptist Mission, I believe God himself infused into the mind of Carey that solicitude for the salvation of the heathen, which cannot fairly be traced to any other source. When he went to Birmingham to collect for the meeting-house he had built at Moulton, he had mentioned the proposal there. A friend urged him to write and print upon it, and offered to give ten pounds towards paying the printer. On his return he met Brother Fuller and Brother Sutcliff in my study at Northampton, and then pressed one of us to publish on the subject. We approved much of what he urged, yet made some objections, on the ground of so much needing to be done at home, &c. However, when he could not prevail on either of us to promise to undertake the work, he said he must tell the whole truth; that in the warmth of conversation at Birmingham, he had said, that he was resolved to do all in his power to set on foot a Baptist Mission. "Well, (said his friend,) print upon the subject, I will help bear the expense.' That he replied |
