Berridge John – Everton Beds: The Works with Memoirs of His Life by R Whittingham London Palmer 1864 4to 632pp Portrait 20c cloth with label Good John Berridge 1716-1793 was an English evangelical revivalist and hymnist.He was born in Nottinghamshire and educated at Clare Hall, Cambridge. In 1749, he was ordained to the parish of Stapleford, near Cambridge. In 1755 he became Vicar of Everton. By 1758 he would ride on horseback far and wide across the whole of Huntingdonshire, Bedfordshire and the surrounding counties. He went wherever people could be found. He preached up to twelve open-air sermons and travelled over 100 miles each week. He became a leading evangelical in the same vein as the 18th century revivalists, such as the Wesley brothers, Daniel Rowlands and other Methodists. Although John Berridge was not as well renowned for his preaching as George Whitefield and John Wesley, he played a vital part in the eighteenth century revival, as his contemporaries recognised. John Wesley said he was one of the most simple as well as most sensible of all whom it pleased God to employ in reviving primitive Christianity.Henry Venn, who accompanied Berridge on preaching tours, said in 1776 that he had “the largest congregations that were ever known …. and greatly was his word owned of the Lord.” George Whitfield, who invited him to preach regularly at his chapel in Tottenham Court Road, London, described him as “a burning and shining light”. When he died Berridge sought to leave behind a testimony to be a witness to those who came after him by composing this epitaph to be inscribed on his tombstone:-“Here lie the remains of John Berridge late vicar of Everton and an itinerant servant of Jesus Christ. Who loved his Master and his work and after running on His ‘Errands’ many years was called up to wait on Him above.Reader art thou born again?No salvation without new birth.I was born in sin February 1716.Remained ignorant of my fallen state till 1730.Lived proudly on faith and works for salvation till 1754.Admitted to Everton vicarage 1755.Fled to Jesus alone for refuge 1756.Fell asleep in Christ 22 January 1793.’please my other similar items….
