Sermons Preached Upon Several Occasions. Vol. VI.

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 VI of Robert South's sermons gathers more occasional discourses by the Restoration divine whose preaching set a standard for English pulpit style. South addresses the Christian's duties, dangers, and comforts with orderly argument and memorable expression, never allowing elegance to replace earnestness. The volume forms a substantial part of a collected body of preaching once ranked among England's finest.
