A Fair and Impartial Testimony

by John Willison

John Willison (1680–1750) was a Church of Scotland minister and evangelical writer, born near Stirling. He served at Brechin from 1703 and at Dundee from 1718 until his death, standing for gospel doctrine through the patronage disputes of his day. His Afflicted Man's Companion and The Balm of Gilead comforted generations of sufferers; our library carries A Fair and Impartial Testimony (1744), his witness to the work of God in Scotland.
