Excerpt from Sermons on the Sacrament: Done Into English, With a Biographical Introduction The "Sermons on the Sacrament," which have so long been classic in our Theology, were first published in 1590 in the Scottish tongue of their original delivery. Together with eleven other sermons of the Author, on various passages of Scripture, published in 1591, they were reprinted in our ordinary language (London 1617) under the rather meaningless title (not given by their author) "The Way to True Peace and Rest." These sixteen sermons were again reprinted in their original form, together with one other, in the Wodrow Society's Edition (1843) edited by Dr William Cunningham. The elder Dr Thomas M'Crie says, "they are curious as specimens of composition in the Scottish language within a few years of the time when it was generally laid aside by our writers," and the younger Thomas M'Crie adds that "even in this form, now become so obsolete as almost to act as a disguise, they have commanded much admiration." The time seems to have arrived when the "disguise" should be entirely removed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
