Sermons Preached Upon Several Occasions. Vol. IV.

Robert South (1634–1716) was an English Anglican clergyman famed for his preaching. Educated at Westminster and Oxford, he became public orator of the university, chaplain to Charles II, and a canon of Christ Church. South's sermons — witty, learned, and combative in defense of the established church — fill the many volumes of his Sermons Preached Upon Several Occasions, long admired as models of polished pulpit prose.

About this book

Volume IV of Robert South's collected sermons offers further occasional preaching from one of the most admired English preachers of the later seventeenth century. South's discourses move from the text of Scripture to the conscience, exposing vice and commending virtue in sentences of unusual polish and point. The volume suits readers who appreciate sermons that reason carefully as well as exhort warmly.
