The Honey-Combe of Free Justification by Christ Alone. Printed in 1642. Collected out of the mere Authorities of Scripture, and common and unanimous consent of the faithful interpreters and dispensers of God's Mysteries upon the same, especially as they express the excellency of Free Justification. Preached and delivered by JOHN EATON, Master of Arts, sometime Student in Trinity College in Oxford; and fifteen years Minister and Preacher at Wickham-Market in SUFFOLK. Paul reproving Peter in the face of the Congregation, hath here no trifling matter in hand, but the chiefest Article of all Christian Doctrine; the Majesty and Utility whereof, who so rightly esteemeth, to him all other things shall seem but vile, and nothing worth; for what is Peter? What is Paul? What is an Angel from heaven? What are all creatures to the Article of Free Justification? Which if we know, then are we in the clear light; but if we be ignorant thereof, then are we in most miserable darkness. Martin Luther

This story of The Author's unconventional lifestyle gives valuable lessons to the many people who leave school and University with no plans for their careers, and are just content to be buffetted along life's highways, waiting for the miracle which will never happen. For the many people who have probably wasted their time at school and University, it is never too late to take charge of their life by positive thinking. Henry Ford was 40 years old when he formed the Ford Motor Company . John Eaton was 26 years old when he decided to throw off the shackles of a comfortable and conventional career as a Design Engineer and ventured into the world of Show Business by opening up a closed down Dance hall. The newfound exctasy of being in charge of his own destiny drove him on to success in other business ventures and a period on the fringes of The Political Scene where he came into contact with Members Of The Cabinet. In addition, the detailed descriptions of of life during his childhood provide an intriguing insight into a way of life which has now become history and will fascinate readers who are accustomed to everyday use of Telephones,TVs, Computers and Motor Vehicles. The lessons learned by The Author about the complexities of human nature, as he navigated through The University Of Life, are well illustrated and invaluable to the reader who wants to "Make Life Happen" rather than let it wash over him. If this book can upgrade the chances of success in a career or improve the quality of life of a reader,then his work will not have been in vain.
