Philpot’s And Popham’s Remembrance Of Grey Hazlerigg
Jospeh Philpot: “I remember him as a slim, dapper, little man with a pale, thin face and an aristocratic nose." James Popham, then Editor of the Gospel Standard in the year of Hazlerigg’s death: “It would seem that an archangel cannot be employed in a work so honourable, so glorifying to God, so beneficial to elect men as a true minister of the gospel can. And such a minister was the late Mr. Hazlerigg. To how many he was such is known only to God who sent him and

The True, Proper, And Eternal Sonship Of The Lord Jesus Christ, The Only Begotten Son Of God
A controversy concerning the eternal Sonship of the Lord Jesus Christ broke out among the Strict and Particular Baptist churches during the 19th century. The orthodox view, set forth by John Gill in his Body of Divinity, and defended by Joseph Philpot in this book, asserts that the second Person of the Godhead is the Son of God in His divine nature, eternally generated by the Father. The erroneous view asserts that the second Person of the Godhead is the Son of God in His human nature only, begotten of the Father at the time of the incarnation. Although the persons holding this view maintain a belief in the TriUnity of the Godhead, yet their denial of the eternal Sonship of the Lord Jesus Christ…

John Gadsby’s Remarks On The Editorship Of The ‘Gospel Standard’ After The Death Of J. C. Philpot
Dear Friends,—Few of you have experienced more changes during the last thirty years than I have experienced, and fewer still have suffered so much from those changes as I have suffered. I have suffered from dangers and perils oft, by sea and land; I have suffered from deep affliction, and have several times, to all human appearance, been at death's door, once when hundreds of miles from my family and friends, and I still suffer, never knowing what it is to be free from pain; I have suffered, and still suffer, from intense anxiety on account of the long-continued illness of my dear wife, hardly a day or a night passing in which she is not more or less almost doubled up with agony and…

Sympathy Letters Occasioned By The Death Of Joseph Philpot
Dear Sir, I enclose a letter from the church at Stamford, expressing our sorrow and grief at the death of our late pastor, Mr. J. C. Philpot. The letter was unanimously adopted at a church meeting, held on Wednesday, Jan. 5. It was also decided to have a marble tablet erected in the chapel to his memory. The Lord, whose faithful servant he was, highly honoured him by blessing both his sermons and writings to the establishing and building up of his people in their most holy faith, as well as making him an able disputant and defender of the truth of God against all error and heresies. His warning voice was raised at the first sound of the enemy. His reproofs, mingled with kindness…

The Funeral Sermon Of Joseph Philpot
It is well known that Mr. Philpot, during his residence at Croydon, frequently attended Mr. Covell's ministry, and sometimes preached for him, and that he was greatly attached to Mr. Covell as a friend. Previous to the service a prayer-meeting was held. Some time before the public service commenced, the chapel was crowded with an expectant congregation, dressed for the most part in black. The pulpit and lower desk were covered with black cloth. Mr. Covell, on ascending the pulpit, bespoke the sympathy and prayers of those present on his behalf. He said he had lost a very dear friend, and he felt the blow acutely. He subsequently read Ps. 39, which he had also read to Mr. Philpot on the Monday before he died.…

The Life And Death Of Joseph Philpot
Before this No. of the "Gospel Standard" comes before its readers, the sad tidings will have spread far and wide that he who edited it for upwards of 20 years has been called away from the scene of his labours. His numerous friends, and those who loved and esteemed him for the truth's sake, will be looking for some little account of his last days; and one of his sorrowing children has written the following: Joseph Charles Philpot, the third son of the late Charles Philpot, Rector of Ripple and Vicar of St. Margaret at Cliffe, was born at Ripple, near Deal, Kent, on September 13th, 1802. He was educated at St. Paul's School, London, whence he proceeded to Worcester College, Oxford, where he had…
