"Doctrinally Puritanism was a kind of vigorous Calvinism; experientially it was warm and contagious, evangelistically it was aggressive yet tender, ecclesiastically it was theocentric and worshipful, politically it aimed to be scripturally balanced and bound by conscience before God in the relations of kings, Parliament and subjects".
Joel R Beeke and Randall J Pederson - "Meet the Puritans" - RHB, Grand Rapids, Michigan (2006) - (pxviii).
"The man who never reads will never be read. He who never quotes will never be quoted. He who will not use the thoughts of other men's brains proves that he has no brains of his own ... You need to read" - C H Spurgeon. "To fail to learn from the pulpit of the past is to impoverish that of the present" - Tony Sargent
