Augustus Montague Toplady was a very interesting character. Staunchly Calvinistic Anglican who couldn't stand John Wesley, who printed a distored 'summary' of his translation of Zanchius' 'Absolute Predestination' designed to turn people against Calvinism. He died at age 38 of tuberculosis. He has some good stuff out there- 'Short Essay On Original Sin', and a sermon on the 39 Articles.
Thanks Babyblue, glad you like it. If you do link to the audio file, by the way, I'd appreciate if you also put a link to the post itself, in this case:
It is a beautiful song. You quoted the real words. In my post I quoted the ones as Dylan sang them -- he takes liberties, or just forgets, as the case may be.
I got it in the headline, but it should have been in the thank-note at the end too! Fixing it now! Thanks for posting!! ;-) Hope others here at the Cafe will drop by your site - it's a daily habit here!
