“It is impossible for men by their own strength and natural ability to become Christians, but it is possible for God to make them Christians.”
Ezekiel Hopkins
(from: The Almost Christian Discovered)
ONE OF THE MOST WELL-RESPECTED PURITANS AND ESTEEMED BY JONATHAN EDWARDS.
Ezekiel Hopkins (1633-1690), was born about the year 1633, at Sandford, Devon, of which place his father was the minister. The precise date of his birth has not been ascertained. In 1649, he was sent to Oxford, and became a Chorister in Magdalen College. Having taken his degree of B.A. in 1653, and that of M.A. in 1656, the College elected him their Chaplain. After performing the duties of that office in a pious and studious manner for four years, he went to London, where he soon became cele¬brated as an eloquent preacher—for some time he assisted Dr. William Spurstowe of St. John’s, Hackney.
