WILLIAM WARLOW, THIS worthy minister of Christ was the offspring of pious parents, being the third son of Charles and Martha Warlow, of the parish of Camroes, near Haverfordwest, members of the Independent church at Trefgarn Owen, under the pastoral care of the Rev. William Maurice. He was born on the 19th of January, 1765, and continued with his parents until 1769, when, on recovering, in some measure, from a long and dangerous illness, he was committed to the care of an aunt at Pelcome. At seven years of age he had many serious thoughts respecting a future state, was fond of books, and was sometimes much affected by reading of the sufferings of that Redeemer in whom he was afterwards enabled to trust. When twelve years old, he was nearly brought to the grave by a fever, when he prayed for mercy, and made vows and resolu tions in reference to his future conduct, in case of returning health. After this he was indeed mercifully restrained from open sin, but far from fulfilling what he sincerely intended and purposed when in distress. His good mother would often endeavour to impress upon his mind the advantages and necessity of religion, and he would sometimes listen to her with a melting heart. At other times he was impatient of restraint, and would have been glad to forget those VOL. XXVII. things which only served to turn the pleasures of sin into bitterness. Pride About this time he had begun to think favourably of the Church of England, and imbibed considerable prejudice against the denominational views of his parents. "I went to the parish church," says he, "with no other view than to see and be seen. I was ignorant of true religion, and inclined to vice. mightily prevailed in my polluted heart. I was much disposed to card-playing, and all kinds of mirth; but the thoughts of death and a future state would often enter into my mind, and greatly distress me, especially in the night. I knew not how to pray, nor did I think that God would hear such a sinner if I attempted it." In the spring of 1781, Mr. Warlow was induced to go to the Tabernacle at Haverfordwest, in order to hear the Rev. Rowland Hill; and, under his preaching, was deeply affected. "I would promise," says he, "when under the Word, that my life, throughout the coming week, should be different from what it had been, and endeavoured to suppress a trifling spirit;" but, before the evening of the next day, his serious thoughts and feelings were gone. On the following Sabbath he went again to the Tabernacle, when his broken promise, during the past week, was brought 3 D to his remembrance; and when conviction of sin returned with double force, again he promised obedience to the will of God,—but in a legal spirit, and in his own strength, and, consequently, with no better success. In this state he continued during the five or six weeks of Mr. Hill's stay, before the end of which he observes, "One week I kept myself very demure until Wednesday, and then broke out again. I thought that if I did but laugh, God was displeased with me." In such spiritual bondage did Mr. Warlow remain until Mr. Hill was succeeded by the Rev. Matthew Wilks. “I went to hear him," says he, "on the first Sabbath, and liked him much in prayer, and in part of his sermon, which was on the words, Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.'" One day, in the following week, while walking in the field, deeply lamenting his state, he was all at once impressed with the idea that a change of heart was necessary to his salvation, when he stopped and prayed that the change might be effected. This prayer was, "Lord, change me at once; I long to be delivered from the sad state of my enslaved mind." On the following Sabbath morning he went again to the Tabernacle, when the text was, "The Lord is a sun and shield; the Lord will give grace and glory," &c. 66 66 This was a morning never, never to be forgotten," as Mr. Warlow expresses himself in the account he has given of it. While Mr. Wilks was contrasting the natural sun with the Sun of Righteousness," says he, "my heart burned within me. The lovely character of Jesus won my affections. My understanding was enlightened, and my soul liberated. The change was instantaneous, and I have reason to believe that it was saving. I was overwhelmed with the love of Christ. My mind was decided for the Lord; and I dreaded returning with the young man who accompanied me, lest our conversation should he such as to interrupt my enjoy ment." to It was now that the subject of this memoir entered on a course of daily prayer, and experienced the happiness of being free from the dominion of sin; "But," says he, "I thought as a child, and my religion lay too much in my feelings; so that when I did not enjoy a comfortable frame of mind, I was ready to fear that all was going to be lost." At the same time he also began to read the Scriptures as he had never done before, being "often in raptures" as Divine things were thus unfolded to his mind. "My sun," says he, "was seldom beclouded." Among other books that came in his way were "Dyer's Golden Chain," and the "Pilgrim's Progress," of which he undoubtedly made the best use he could. By the perusal of these books he was greatly edified; and, while enjoying the blessings of salvation himself, he felt a tender concern for others, especially for his own relations. "I was anxious," he says, let them know what a Saviour I had found." Accordingly, he spoke to some, but was soon convinced that a superior power was necessary in order to the production of such a change in them as he desired to see. When about to receive the Lord's Supper, at the Tabernacle, while Torial Joss was supplying there, he informs us that the communicants underwent no previous examination, and that no one needed instruction respecting that ordinance more than himself: Yet I gave myself up to the Lord," says he, "with solemn vows to be his for ever." But as the supplies from England ceased in the autumn of the same year, and as he then met with some opposition from his uncle, with whom he lived, and had no religious associates in the household, his spiritual enjoyments were greatly diminished, and he experienced a winter in his soul. He turned to the Lord, however, with weeping and supplication, ventured once more to the Lord's table, humbled him |
