Synopsis

The Nonsuch Professor, Etc by William Secker. This volume gathers Secker’s sermons on sanctification and the Christian life, originally preached at All-Hallow’s Church, London Wall, and later expanded with The Wedding Ring sermon. It argues that true Christians will perform singular actions beyond others, arising from a nearer relation to God, a fuller conformity to Christ, and a sense of accountability before the world. The text lays out twenty principal marks by which believers should live—doing much good quietly, bearing trials with patience, preferring the public good over private ease, maintaining humility, mourning over inward sin, and pursuing inward purity as the path to outward blessing. It cautions against hypocrisy, worldliness, and vain glory, urging constant prayer, repentance, and a robust Christian virtue. The Wedding Ring sermon applies these themes to marriage, presenting it as a divinely chosen partnership that sustains faith, strengthens character, and raises children in godliness. The work ultimately envisions the crown of heaven as the reward of steadfast gospel fidelity.
