Notes
Preface, by Andrew A. Bonar.
All who relish Samuel Rutherford's Letters will welcome the reprint of this volume, entitled when first printed, Collection of Valuable Sermons Preached by him at Sacramental Occasions, in the years 1630, 1634, and 1637. I have added two discourses to the collection, one preached in 1630, and another in 1633, and also what is commonly called a Communion Address, delivered in London.
All breathe the same spirit as the famous Letters and are full of racy remark and illustration, bearing on scriptural doctrine and Christian experience.
The Sermons were not published by himself, but from the notes of hearers, and so there are some awkward sentences and clauses. But still they are exceedingly valuable. The first nine sermons were originally printed at Glasgow, "from an old manuscript." The rest have frequently appeared in various forms. A Sermon, which bears the title, The Cruel Watchman, and a fragment, Christ's Voice from Heaven, are not genuine, and so are not included in this collection. His only other Sermons are that on Luke viii. 22, preached before the House of Commons, 1644, and that on Daniel vi. 26, preached before the House of Lords, 1645.
