1814FB5349 /8<p>Boards scuffed.Tan calf spine with gilt banding with title. Brown marbled board.</p><p>William Law was a priest at the Church of England in the 18th century. In The Spirit of Prayer Law provides a series of prayers and dialogues that focus on the love of God.</p><p>William Law 1686 – 9 April 1761 was a Church of England priest who lost his position at Emmanuel College Cambridge when his conscience would not allow him to take the required oath of allegiance to the first Hanoverian monarch King George I. Previously William Law had given his allegiance to the House of Stuart and is sometimes considered a second-generation non-juror. Thereafter Law continued as a simple priest curate and when that too became impossible without the required oath Law taught privately and wrote extensively. His personal integrity as well as his mystic and theological writing greatly influenced the evangelical movement of his day as well as Enlightenment thinkers such as the writer Dr. Samuel Johnson and the historian Edward Gibbon. In 1784 William Wilberforce 1759–1833 the politician philanthropist and leader of the movement to stop the slave trade was deeply touched by reading William Law's book A Serious Call to a Devout and Holy Life 1729. Law's spiritual writings remain in print today.</p><p>In his later years Law became an admirer of the German Christian mystic Jakob Böhme. The journal of John Byrom mentions that probably around 1735 or 1736 the physician and Behmenist George Cheyne had drawn Law's attention to the book Fides et Ratio written in 1708 by the French Protestant theologian Pierre Poiret. It was in this book that Law came across the name of the mystic Jakob Böhme. From then on Law's writings such as A Demonstration of the Errors of a late Book 1737 and The Grounds and Reasons of Christian Regeneration 1739 contained a mystical note. In 1740 appeared An Earnest and Serious Answer to Dr. Trapp and in 1742 An Appeal to All that Doubt. The Appeal was greatly admired by Law's friend George Cheyne who wrote on 9 March 1742 to his good friend the printer and novelist Samuel Richardson: "Have you seen Law's Appeal . it is admirable and unanswerable". John Byrom wrote a poem based on An Earnest and Serious Answer which was found among the manuscripts of Samuel Richardson after his death in 1761.</p><p>Law's mystical tendencies caused the first breach in 1738 between Law and the practical-minded John Wesley after an exchange of four letters in which each explained his own position. After eighteen years of silence Wesley attacked Law and his Behmenist philosophy once again in an open letter in 1756 in which Wesley wrote:</p><p>Lime Grove Putney 1846 home of the Gibbon family where William Law walked with John Byrom and other friends.</p><p>I have scarce met with a greater friend to darkness except 'the illuminated Jacob Behmen'. But Sir have you not done him an irreparable injury I do not mean by misrepresenting his sentiments; though some of his profound admirers are positive that you misunderstand and murder him throughout but by dragging him out of his awful obscurity; by pouring light upon his venerable darkness. Men may admire the deepness of the well and the excellence of the water it contains: But if some officious person puts a light into it it will appear to be both very shallow and very dirty. I could not have borne to spend so many words on so egregious trifles but that they are mischievous trifles: . bad philosophy has by insensible degrees paved the way for bad divinity.</p><p>Law never responded to this open letter though he had been deeply upset as testified by John Byrom.</p><p>After seven years of silence Law further explored Böhme's ideas in The Spirit of Prayer 1749–1750 followed by The Way to Divine Knowledge 1752 and The Spirit of Love 1752–1754. He worked on a new translation of Böhme's works for which The Way to Divine Knowledge had been the preparation. Samuel Richardson had been involved in the printing of some of Law's works e.g. A Practical Treatise upon Christian Perfection second edition of 1728 and The Way to Divine Knowledge 1752 since Law's publishers William and John Innys worked closely with Samuel Richardson.</p><p>Title page of the Johann Georg Gichtel 1638–1710 edition of 1682 printed in Amsterdam.</p><p>Law had taught himself the "High Dutch Language" to be able to read the original text of the "blessed Jacob". He owned a quarto edition of 1715 which had been carefully printed from the Johann Georg Gichtel edition of 1682 printed in Amsterdam where Gichtel 1638–1710 lived and worked.</p><p>After the death of both Law and Richardson in 1761 Law's friends George Ward and Thomas Langcake published a four-volume version of the works of Jakob Böhme between 1764 and 1781. It was paid for by Elizabeth Hutcheson. This version became known as the Law-edition of Böhme even though Law had never found the time to contribute to this new edition. As a result of this it was ultimately based on the original translations made by John Ellistone and John Sparrow between 1645 and 1662 with only a few changes. This edition was greatly admired by Samuel Taylor Coleridge and William Blake. Law had found some illustrations made by the German early Böhme exegetist Dionysius Andreas Freher 1649–1728 which had been included in this edition. Upon seeing these symbolic drawings Blake said during a dinner party in 1825 "Michel Angelo could not have surpassed them".</p> W Hardcastle. hardcover
