About this Item

. 88 pages, spine area a bit faded, previous owner's name to flyleaf, top edges faintly foxed. Completely reset from the incomplete 1713 posthumous publication of sermons "The Power and Prevalency of Faith and Prayer evidenced in a practical discourse upon Matth. 9. 27-31" with updated spelling and sometimes updated sentence construction, and explanation of unfamiliar words in square brackets. A verse-by-verse study of Jesus' miracle of healing of two blind men, the text of the 1713 publication ends during the study of verse 31 soon after the beginning of the result and aftermath of the miracle, with the words "The rest of the Discourse cannot be found, it being above 50 Years since the Author died." Extracts have been included from the lengthy 1713 Epistle to the Reader, written presumably by the anonymous person who arranged the publication. Rutherford's "Testimony . to the Work of Reformation . with some of his last words" (1661), inserted in the 1713 edition after the "Epistle to the Reader", is not included in this edition.
