Jeremiah Burroughs was greatly honored and esteemed in his day (1599-1646), and became a most popular and admired preacher, as well as participated as one of the divines of the Westminster Assembly. This current work (originally titled “Four Useful Discourses”) covers four important areas in separate teachings: 1) Six sermons on Luke 10:5-6 concerning, “The Gospel of Peace Sent To the Sons of Peace,” 2) Three sermons on Philippians 4:12 for the improving of a “full and prosperous condition,” for the glory of God, 3) A sermon on “Christian Submission” from 1 Samuel 3:18, “And he said, it is the Lord, let him do what seemeth him good,” and 4) A sermon on Philippians 1:21, “For to me to live is Christ; and to die is gain,” titled, “Christ, a Christian’s Life, and Death His Gain.” All four of these works are eminently biblical, practical and helpful, but the first two sermon series are unique with doctrines not regularly heard from the pulpit today. This work is not a scan or facsimile.
