Jeremiah Burroughs is worthily reckoned as belonging to the front rank of English puritan preachers. As such he played a prominent part in the Westminster Assembly of divines, but died prematurely before the Assembly’s work was concluded. Burrough’s writings, some published before and others after his death, were numerous, but The Rare-Jewel of Christian Contentment is one of the most valuable of them all. Its author was much concerned to promote (1) peace among believers of various ‘persuasions’ (2) peace and contentment in the hearts of individual believers during what he describes as ‘sad and sinking times’. The Rare Jewel concentrates upon this second aim. It is marked by sanity, clarity, aptness of illustration, and warmth of appeal to the heart. ‘There is an ark that you may come into, and no men in the world may live such comfortable, cheerful and contented lives as the saints of God’. Burroughs presses his lesson home with all the fervour and cogency of a true and faithful minister of God.

______________
Jeremiah Burroughs (1599-1646) was loved for his preaching and gentle spirit and was persecuted for his nonconformity to the Church of England. Feeling compelled to flee to Holland for a time, he eventually returned to England and preached to congregations in Stepney and Cripplegate in London, two of the largest congregations in England. He also served as a member of the Westminster Assembly until his death in 1646.
______________
‘I would echo others in asking for Banner to publish more Burroughs. This book is a wonderful tonic in this world of materialism, individualism and selfishness. Burroughs encourages readers to count their blessings in a gentle and pastorly way. I think we are all apt to get a little arrogant and cocky at times and also to be jealous of others possessions and gifts. I know I am like this so I am very content to have this little book to hand to guide me on the right path. Apparently Burroughs was a kindly conciliatory man who did not have much for sectarianism and wished Christians would all just get along. I can say Amen to that.’ MatteoB
