This volume contains a collection of Puritan Thomas Watson's sermons on a variety of topics, including Christ, sin, heaven, meditation, the Lord's Supper, perseverance, the soul, righteousness, and purity, among many others. Included also is his Farewell Sermon, where he poignantly addresses his parish with perhaps the most emotional and heart-wrenching sermon of his career, the night before his ejection from the Church of England. With characteristic Puritan courage and wit, he says, "Now welcome the cross of Christ, -- welcome reproach, -- welcome poverty, scorn and contempt, or whatever else may befall me on this account! This morning I had a flock, and you had a pastor; but now, behold a pastor without a flock, -- a flock without a shepherd! This morning I had a house, but now I have none! This morning I had a living, but now I have none! "The Lord hath given, and the Lord hath taken away. Blessed be the name of the Lord."" Printed in easy-to-read ten point type and increased margins for note-taking. Charles Spurgeon said of Thomas Watson, "Watson was one of the most concise, racy, illustrative, and suggestive of those eminent divines who made the Puritan age the Augustan period of evangelical literature. There is a happy union of sound doctrine, heart-searching experience and practical wisdom throughout all his works." By Ted Cortez Publishing
