Synopsis

The Works Of Symon Patrick: Including His Autobiography by Symon Patrick presents a collection of Symon Patrick’s argumentative and devotional writings. The material includes a late-antiquity Christian apologetic tract defending that Jesus is the Son of God, grounded in a sixfold testimony of heaven and earth (Father, Word, Holy Ghost; Water, Blood, Spirit) and urging believers to faith and obedience. It discusses the credibility of the apostles’ testimony through their lives, martyrdom, and miracles, and contrasts Jesus’ works and resurrection with Moses and Mahomet to argue for divine validation of Christ. Complementing this is a substantial Anglican devotional corpus intended for personal and family use, with prayers for illness, travel, childbirth, marriage, aging, poverty, and public life; a four-part Large Form of Devotion outlining morning and day-long meditations, scripture incorporation, repentance, gratitude, and holy living; and a suite of prayers emphasizing Scripture reading and postures of humility and charity. A separate tract advocates the necessity and frequency of Holy Communion in 17th-century cathedral practice, addressing doubts and urging weekly participation. Collectively, the works reveal Patrick’s doctrinal clarity, pastoral exhortation, and reforming impulse within Anglican religious life.
