THE UNCERTAINTY OF A DEATH-BED REPENTANCE, ILLUSTRATED UNDER THE CHARACTER OF PENITENS.
[Germantown, Pa. Christopher Sower, Jr., 1756]. 16pp. Caption title as issued. A clean text, bound in later three-quarter cloth. Very Good. With the bookplate of ardent bibliophile Luther Brewer [see guides.lib.uiowa.edu].
"Erroneously attributed to Franc¸ois de Salignac de La Mothe Fenelon by Evans and Hildeburn, presumably because of the presence of Fenelon's 'Directions for a holy life. By the Arch-Bishop of Cambray' on p. 13-16." [ESTC.]
This is a rare Sower imprint: ESTC locates only four copies: two at AAS, a copy at the Library Company, and a copy at HSP.
"Is there any folly like the folly of most men and women, who think themselves too wise, and are too busy to hearken to the voice of Jesus Christ calling in the heart?"
Evans 7656. Hildeburn 1464. ESTC W27160. Item #42516
