Title The Sabbath Breaker Reclaimed; or, a pleasing history of Thomas Brown
Credits Transcribed from the c1830 Augustus Applegath and Edward Cowper edition by David Price
Summary "The Sabbath Breaker Reclaimed; or, a pleasing history of Thomas Brown" is a religious narrative poem likely written in the early 19th century. This didactic piece tells the story of Thomas Brown, a man who initially disregards the Sabbath, instead choosing to spend his Sundays in leisure and reflection instead of attending church. The book fits into the genre of moral literature, emphasizing themes of repentance, redemption, and the spiritual importance of observing religious practices. The narrative follows Thomas Brown and his family on a Sabbath day as they initially choose to wander in the fields rather than attend church. Thomas engages in a conversation with a neighbor who tries to persuade him of the importance of observing the Sabbath and nurturing his spiritual life. Through this persuasive dialogue, Thomas begins to reflect on his choices and the consequences they may hold for his soul. As the story unfolds, he ultimately decides to turn his life around, embracing faith and seeking a deeper understanding of God’s word. The poem captures his transformation from a carefree Sabbath breaker to a humbled, spiritually enlightened individual dedicated to living a life of faith and moral integrity.
