The Works of William Perkins, volume 2

About this Item

RHB-2015.  d.w.  832pp.This second volume contains Perkinsâ s Commentary on Galatians. Perkins preached on Galatians each Lordâ s Day for over three years. Ralph Cudworth obtained Perkinsâ s handwritten notes and edited them for publication. Because Perkins did not complete the commentary, Cudworth supplemented the manuscript with his own comments on chapter 6.This commentary of Perkins and Cudworth on Galatians first appeared in print in 1604, two years after Perkinsâ s death. Perkinsâ s other writings had already begun to be gathered and published. When the three-volume edition of his collected works first appeared, Galatians occupied over 320 large folio pages in the second volume (1609). It continued to appear as a part of several editions of the Works through their final 1635 reprint. Evidently, interest in the commentary warranted its publication again as a separate volume in 1617.Following the model taught in his treatise The Art of Prophesying, Perkinsâ s pattern in commenting on Galatians is to explain the text, deduce a few points of doctrine from it, answer objections raised against the doctrine, and then give practical uses of what the passage teaches.Table of Contents:General PrefaceBiographical PrefacePreface to Volume 2Exposition of GalatiansScripture IndexSubject Index.
