Endorsement

“Whereas many worthy ministers have outlived their zeal, the vigor of their gifts, and their acceptance with the godly, this blessed man rather increased in all these to the last. . . His gifts were great, strong natural parts, a clear head, and a sound heart. . . His action in preaching was more than ordinary; yet was it all decent and taking in him.”
—Robert Traill (1642–1716), author of A Vindication of the Protestant Doctrine Concerning Justification
