Excerpt from The Saints' Happiness, Together With the Several Steps Leading Thereunto: Delivered in Divers Lectures on the Beatitudes; Being Part of Christ's Sermon on the Mount, Contained in the Fifth of MatthewIT will probably by most readers be deemed sufficient, by way of introduction to one of the numerous works of this author, to reproduce the brief notice' of him which was prefixed by the late Rev James Sherman to his edition of his Exposition of Hosea - T. S.IT is deeply to be lamented that no life was given to the church of this excellent minister of Christ; concerning whom Mr Baxter says, If all the Episcopalians had been like Archbishop Usher, all the Presbyterians like Mr Stephen Marshall, and all the Independents like Mr Jeremiah Burroughs, the breaches of the church would soon have been healed.' From the few scattered notices of him in different authors, and chieﬂy from those of his enemies, we learn that he was born in 1599. He studied and took his degree at Emmanuel College, Cambridge; after which he became colleague with the Rev. Edmund Calamy, at Bury St Edmund's. In the year 1631 he became rector of Tivetshall, in the county of Norfolk; but upon the publication of Bishop Wren's Articles and Injunctions, in 1636, he was suspended and deprived of his living.The Earl of Warwick, who was the friend and patron of the persecuted ministers, and one of their constant hearers, gave him an asylum in his house, till the fire of persecution, which raged so strongly against him, obliged him to ﬂy to Holland. He was chosen assistant minister to the church at Rotterdam, of which the Rev. William Bridge was pastor. The violence of party strife at that period raised against him many accusations for leaving his country, but his vindication of himself and his conduct in retiring to Rotterdam is so ample and circumstantial, and withal written in so meek and humble a spirit, as to raise in the reader a high estimation of his veracity and piety.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

An Exposition of the Prophecie of Hosea: Begun in Divers Lectures, Upon the First Three Chapters, at Michaels, Cornhill, London (Classic Reprint)

This is a modern-English edition of Burroughs' most well-known and beloved book, The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment, first published in 1648. It has long been regarded as the most useful book ever written for promoting a contented, thankful, uncomplaining and grateful walk with God. We live in a world of grumblers, discontent with God's widespread goodness. It is all too easy for Christians to share in this spirit with the world. This book, in typical Puritan form, 'doctors' the reader by proposing remedies to our spiritual diseases and helps us grow a spirit of thankfulness in its place. The author focuses especially on helping to bring calm and contentment to the hearts of those in sad and discouraged times. He also aims to promote peace and harmony among believers with various differences of opinion.

This treatise on Leviticus 10:1-3 is a call to propriety and sobriety in the worship of God. It deals with the believer's sanctification through "three great ordinances":(1)Hearing the Word(2)Receiving the Lord's Supper, and(3)Prayer In a day that promotes man-made forms of worship, Gospel Worship is a call to biblical worship of the Triune God though the means that He has instituted. Burroughs shows how important worship is to God and teaches us how to "give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name" (Ps. 29:2). He makes plain that we do not need new forms of worship to be relevant, but to renew old forms of worship.
