He became an influential evangelical figure in London from the later 1670s, in partnership with Richard Smithies, curate of St. Giles Cripplegate. A student of the Bible and religious literature, and a casuist consulted in cases of conscience. he was well read in Arabic, Hebrew, and rabbinical literature. He wrote little of controversy, though he took an anti-Catholic stance during the reign of James II. His books are chiefly devotional, and went through many editions until 1730; some reprints appeared from 1846. This is the 11th and final original printing of his first written work. A well-preserved volume in very good condition, this interesting piece is a fine example of traditional Protestant devotional literature.
