Edmund Staunton (1600-1671), was a zealous Christian, active Reformed minister, and a constant member of the Westminster Assembly of Divines.
The three works contained in this volume are rare. His first sermon is on the "Rock of Israel," from Deut. 32:31, “For their rock is not as our Rock...” He shows that the nations have rocks, but they are idols. And that the God of Israel is our solid Rock.
Divine meditation on the word of God is a lost art and science in the spiritual disciplines. Christians are often content to read a little and pray a little. They often have little to no strategy for godly meditation. This is where William Bridge will come in. He will not only show the work and way of divine meditation, but he will initially set forth its sweetness.
Jeremiah Burroughs was greatly honored and esteemed in his day (1599-1646), and became a most popular and admired preacher. He was chosen by the congregations of Stepney and Cripplegate, London, at that time accounted two of the largest congregations in England, as well as participated as one of the divines of the Westminster Assembly.

John Bond (1612-1676) was a Calvinistic puritan divine. In 1643 he became a member of the Westminster Assembly of Divines, and in December 1645 succeeded to the mastership of the Savoy. He wrote numerous works and preached often before the assembly.
Henry Smith (ca. 1550–1591?) was an English clergyman, widely regarded as "the most popular Puritan preacher of Elizabethan London." His sermons at St. Clement Danes drew enormous crowds, and earned him a reputation as the "Silver Tongued Preacher". His collected sermons were among the most frequently reprinted religious writings of the Elizabethan age, especially this work “God’s Arrow Against Atheists.”
Thomas Mockett (or Mocket) (1602-1670), was a puritan theologian and scholarly Reformed preacher of the Gospel.
What does it mean to be a Christian who has forsaken the world for Jesus Christ? From various texts in Matthew 13 concerning the Kingdom of God and the incomparable excellency of Jesus Christ, Mockett teaches that every Christian should, and the wise Christian will, willingly part with all for Christ and the grace of the Gospel. He shows what it means to “part with all for Jesus Christ”, and what Christians “are to part with” for Jesus Christ.
William Perkins (1558 – 1602) was a minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and a famous Cambridge theologian. He was a thorough Puritan who mentored such pastors as Jeremiah Burroughs.
This treatise is an echo of Scripture teaching how God’s will and man’s will work in their respective spheres. How do God and man relate concerning salvation? Perkins works from the text of Matthew 23:37-38.
