"Pemble was a learned Calvinistic divine, and his writings are highly esteemed, but not very captivating". - C H Spurgeon. "Pemble's work attracted attention long after his death, helping to influence Richard Baxter against Arminianism and shape the high-Calvinist tenets of the eighteenth-century Baptists John Gill and John Brine. Baxter and Thomas Blake each cited Pemble in their dispute over the covenants and the role of scripture as an instrument of the Spirit". - Oxford Dictionary of National Biography.…
