Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Eighteen Sermons, by the Rev. Philip Henry, A. M., Formerly of Christ Church College, Oxford; Selected From His Original Manuscripts: Also, Two Sermons Preached on His Death
The first of the sermons in this volume was preached by Mr. Tallents, who was a Divine of extensive learning, singular pru dence, and elevated piety. He was Mr. Henry's intimate friend and companion in tribulation, and a considerable Sharer in the sufferings of the Nonconformists. In the year-1662 he was ejected from St. Mary's Church in Shrewsbury; and, after labouring honourably in the Gospel Ministry among Dissenters, in that town, till the year 1708, entered upon his eternal rest, in the 89th year of his age*. The Sermon, now first printed, he preached at Broad Oak, and afterwards prepared it for the press; but it was not published, for reasons which will be seen by the letter he addressed to Mr. Mat thew Henry, and which is transcribed from the original manuscript. The letter bears date Oct. 7th, 1696. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
