Reference: Wing (2nd ed., 1994), B4201; ESTC No. R35338. ~NNN~ When this work was published in 1694, author Francis Bragge (1664-1728), an Anglican clergyman, was vicar of Hitchin, a market town in Hertfordshire, England. Bragge authored a number of books, but this, 'Practical Discourses Upon the Parables of Our Blessed Saviour,' was apparently quite popular, by 1724 going into a sixth edition. Bragge's collected works were published in 1833 in five volumes by Oxford University Press. The parables of Jesus can be found in all the canonical, and some of the non-canonical, gospels, but are located mainly within the three synoptic gospels. They represent a key part of the teachings of Jesus, forming approximately one third of his recorded teachings. Christians place high emphasis on these parables; since they are the words of Jesus, they are believed to be what the Father has taught, indicated by John 8:28 and 14:10.
