Red sprinkled edges. 24 pp., 192 pp., 68 pp., [pagination 53-120], 69 pp., 344 pp. A large copy, this book measures 13 inches tall x 7.75 inches wide x 2 inches thick.ABOUT THE AUTHORS: William Allen (c. 1614-1686) was an English theological writer, respected voice within the 17th century church of England, and a contemporary of Thomas Bray. Allen is known for his defense of the Church of England and his scholarly focus on the nature of faith and covenants. His work, "A Discourse of the Nature, Ends, and Difference of the Two Covenants", became a significant contribution to covenant theology, arguing that justifying faith is inherently linked to evangelical obedience.Thomas Bray (1656?1730) was an English Anglican priest, philanthropist and abolitionist who helped formally establish the Church of England in Maryland, as well as the Society for the Propagation of Christian Knowledge and Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts. Bray is primarily recognized for his foundational role in global missionary and educational organizations. A contemporary of William Allen, Bray famously compiled Allen's works alongside his own in the 1703 collection, Two Select Discourses on Faith. His most significant personal writing was "A Course of Lectures Upon the Church Catechism" (1696), which provided a structured foundation for Anglican instruction.John Kettlewell (1653?1695) was a prominent English clergyman, leading member of the Nonjuror movement, and devotional writer. Kettlewell was highly regarded for his "practical" theology, which emphasized the lived experience of faith and moral duty. In the 1703 volume edited by Thomas Bray, Kettlewell?s "The Practical Believer" was paired with the works of William Allen to provide a complete manual of Anglican doctrine and spiritual discipline.CONDITION: Mild external wear with some soiling and light dampstain. A few portions of pages have some moisture marks, and others have mild to moderate browning/smudges. The first several pages have slight paper loss to the fore-edges, yet doesn't affect the text. At over 300 years old, the leaves are in very nice condition. In fact, the entire book is quite well-preserved. Only occasional annotation in antiquarian dipped ink. A beautiful antiquarian treasure and a wonderful addition to any theologian's collection. Full refund if not satisfied.…
