“Set a strong guard about thy outward senses: these are Satan's landing places, especially the eye and the ear.”
Quote by William Gurnall
Work
This volume gathers excerpts from the writings of William Gurnall, who served as a rector in Suffolk during the mid-1600s. Gurnall was a prominent figure in the Puritan tradition, and his works have been valued for their practical application of Christian doctrine and spiritual guidance. The selections likely draw from his extensive writings on Christian living, faith, and piety that characterized Puritan literature of that era. As a collection of extracts, the book provides readers with access to portions of Gurnall's spiritual counsel and theological reflections, making his teachings more accessible to those interested in seventeenth-century English religious thought. The compilation preserves portions of his work that address matters of Christian discipline, spiritual warfare, and the practical outworking of faith in daily life. more
