Opis: Instructions About Heart-Work - Alleine Richard

Excerpt from Instructions About Heart-Work: And a Companion for Prayer

Entering holy orders, young Richard assisted his father, and preached frequently in various parts of the county.

Richard Alleine succeeded Richard Bernard to the rectory of Batcombe. The latter had been presented to that living in 1613, "on account of his excellent learning, genuine piety, and ministerial abilities," by Dr. Bisse, who had been minister of the place almost from the commencement of the Reformation. This revered and venerable pastor, it is said, purchased the advowson of Batcombe, to present once only, for which he gave 200; and though he had a son in the ministry, he constantly resolved to bestow it as the Lord should direct him. Therefore, upon the presentation of the benefice, he spoke to Mr. Bernard and others in these words: - "I do this day lay aside nature, respect of profit, flesh and blood, in thus bestowing as I do my living, only in hope of profiting and edifying my people's souls." He died shortly after. This, his last act, he called his packing penny between God and himself.

Mr. Bernard left Richard Alleine a brilliant example of ministerial fidelity and diligence, by which he profited not a little. He is represented as having been "a hard student, a most exemplary Christian, and much addicted to acts of charity; also a judicious, affectionate, and profitable preacher, being filled with zeal for the glory of God, and the salvation of souls. His labours in the ministry were bestowed not only on his own congregation, but on some of the adjacent market-towns.
