Synopsis

The Works Of Symon Patrick: Including His Autobiography by Symon Patrick. The volume is an early modern Anglican apologetic collection that defends the Christian claim of immortality through a polemical, patristic framework. It argues that eternal life is grounded in the gospel and witnessed by a composite testimony: water (doctrine and purity of teaching), blood (Christ’s atoning death), and the Spirit (miraculous power and resurrection), all corroborated by the Spirit’s work in the apostles and the church. Jesus is presented as Life, the Life-giver whose death, resurrection, and ascension authorize a universal authority over life, death, and judgment, and whose Spirit empowers signs and wonders at Pentecost. The twelve apostles, notably Peter, Paul, and John, serve as witnesses to the resurrection and as bearers of preaching, discipline, and doctrinal firmness under divine sanction. The text situates pre-Christian Jewish hopes within the fuller gospel, emphasizes the future resurrection as the proof of life with God, and urges believers toward holy living, perseverance, and trust in God’s eternal promises. The work blends patristic authority with biblical interpretation to reassure clergy and educated lay readers of orthodox doctrine and heavenly hope.
