SUPPLEMENT.
RECOLLECTIONS OF MISS E. PAGET, LATE OF BARNSTAPLE.
Miss E. Paget, so often alluded to in Mr. Groves’s memoir, deserves the first place in this supplement; having been used of God, to develope, in so large a measure, the striking features of his spiritual history, and the principles which distinguished him through life. When living with her beloved sister in Exeter, she was not only known as the active helper of the poor around her, but extended her work to Poltimore, a village near Exeter, where she had a cottage, in which she at times resided, that the people might be visited: this explains “her little flock at Poltimore,” spoken of by Mr. Groves, when associated with her in Exeter. This cottage was used for the preaching of the gospel, and was the first place where Mr. Groves ministered the word of life. She had very clear and decided views of the fulness of the gospel and helped to build up many in the truth.[1] She was, also, at a very early period, one who looked for the coming of the Lord, and waited for the kingdom
- ↑ A small volume still in the writer’s possession, published above forty years ago, on all the leading truths of the word, being “a series of tracts on select portions of the Gospel of Matthew,” takes in all the most important foundation truths of Scripture, viz, “The Incarnate Word,” “The Law of Christ,” “The single eye,” “The false prophet,” “Wisdom justified of her children,” “Christ a universal Saviour,” and “What it is to confess Christ.”
