So dying-like and frail

and like the Holy Leader as having no resting place

I can't imagine what it would have been like to attend

1764 JOSEPH HALL. Jacob's Ladder; Or, The Devout Soul's Ascension to Heaven. Spurgeon Rec! Exposition Annie SibreeAn absolutely lovely 12mo 18th century imprint of a 17th century devotional classic. Though, for all its common use, this being the 19th edition, it is surprisingly scarce on the market. Joseph Hall [1574 1656] was both respected academic, theologian, and controversialist and also a deeply meaningful and experimental author and preacher. It was this combination of intellectual rigor and experimental piety that kept his works in print for 400 years.
