MORRIS FULLER
THE LIFE AND WRITINGS OF JOHN DAVENANT, D.D. (1571-1641), President of Queen’s College, Lady Margaret Professor of Divinity, Cambridge, Lord Bishop of Salisbury. By the Rev. Morris Fuller, B.D., Vicar of St. Mark’s, Marylebone. Crown 8vo. 7s. 6d.
Dr. Davenant, Bishop of Salisbury, the maternal uncle of Dr. Fuller, lived at a very critical time in our history (1571-1641). He was one of the British representatives of the first great Synod of the reformed churches held at Dort, was one of Archbishop Laud’s Suffragans, and assisted him in carrying out his reforms.
Précis is given of some of the Bishop’s writings, and a very celebrated sermon, never before published and supposed to have been lost, is printed in extenso.
