Includes index. The last two leaves contain errata and advertisements. Intended to be issued with: Wilkins, John. A discourse concerning the gift of prayer. With a preliminary blank leaf.'John Wilkins (16141672), theologian and natural philosopher. '. His first published religious work, Ecclesiastes (1646), was subtitled A Discourse Concerning the Gift of Preaching, and was intended as a handbook for preachers . Showing the influence of Senecan Stoicism, Wilkins advocated patient submissiveness to Providence in times of suffering. A discourse concerning the gift of prayer: shewing what it is, wherein it consists and how far it is attainable by industry (1651), like the earlier Ecclesiastes, was intended as an advice manual to aid in the organization of thoughts and in effective communication between man and God. These three religious works proved highly influential in the contemporary shift to a plainer, clearer, and more simply ordered style in sermons and other forms of writing. US$483.
