Thomas Manton (1620–1677) was an English Puritan clergyman, clerk to the Westminster Assembly and later rector of St Paul's, Covent Garden, in London. A respected preacher — he also served as a chaplain to Oliver Cromwell — Manton was ejected in 1662 and continued ministering in private.

About this book

Volume III of Thomas Manton's collected works carries forward the sermons and treatises of one of the most orderly and practical of Puritan preachers. Manton opens the text of Scripture carefully, states doctrine plainly, and then presses its uses upon conscience, affection, and conduct. The volume shares the set's characteristic union of theological substance and patient pastoral guidance.
