Anything in Matthew Mead, Christopher Love or Thomas Watson or Robert Bolton? |
Re Thomas Brooks -- See
London's Lamentations in
volume 6, concerning God's providential judgments on cities and nations.
Re Thomas Case -- The Select Works has
A Treatise of Afflictions and
A Prospect of Heaven, which are aimed primarily at comforting individual believers. But there is corporate application. For Thomas Case's views on the Establishment Principle, see his sermon in volume 5 of The Morning Exercises, some of which I quoted in this thread:
Thomas Case on the Government of Christ
Re Richard Sibbes -- See
volume 6 of his works on covenanting and Josiah's reformation.
Re Christopher Love -- See Dr. Kistler's biography:
A Spectacle Unto God: The Life and Death of Christopher Love.
Re Thomas Watson -- See various remarks on magistracy in his commentary on the Westminster Shorter Catechism (
A Body of Divinity), particularly wrt his exposition of the ten commandments.
