RHB has done the world a favor by making these Puritan classics accessible for the modern reader.

“Necessity should be the great disposer of a minister’s study and labour. It chooseth what book I shall read, and tells me when, and how long. It chooseth my text, and makes my sermon, both for matter and manner, so far as I can keep out my own corruption.”

“Or that it is inhuman cruelty to let souls go to hell, for fear my wife and children should fare somewhat the harder, or live at lower rates; when, according to God's ordinary way of working by means, 1 might do much to prevent their misery, if I would but a little displease my flesh, which all, who are Christ’s, have crucified with its lusts?”

“When your minds are in a holy, heavenly frame, your people are likely to partake of the fruits of it…that which is most on your hearts, is like to be most in their ears.”

Sixth reading of Baxter’s classic. It has always been of great use in knocking the rust off my soul.
