Representative Text

1 Space and duration God does fill,
And orders all things by his will,
Respecting all the holy seed,
Chosen in Christ their blessed Head.

2 God’s jewels of election-love
Were sanctified in Christ above;
In oneness with his nature pure,
Joint-heirs with him for evermore.

William Augustus Clarke was ordained by a Greek bishop, but afterwards joined the Baptists, and became pastor of Redcrossstreet, about 1773. In 1780, in consequence of the part he took with the mob against increasing the liberties of the Papists, he had to heave, when he opened a room in Bunhill Row. there he remained only three months, and then went to Ireland, and from Ireland to America. He returned to England about 1797, and went to Petticoat Lane; but the place being taken down, he again went to Bunhill Row, being in 1801.
