Name: Life of the Late Rev. Mr. John Flavel
Author: John Flavel

John Flavel (c. 1627–1691) was an English Puritan minister at Dartmouth in Devon. Ejected from his pulpit in 1662, he continued to preach to his people as the law allowed, and suffered for it under the persecution of Nonconformists. His writings are models of clear, affectionate practical divinity; our library holds The Fountain of Life, The Method of Grace, The Saint Indeed, and his treatise on keeping the heart.
