John Wilkins — EEBO-TCP A66039, keyed from the 1651 edition.
Wilkins’s handbook for preachers, first printed in 1646 and enlarged in later editions: the method of a sermon, its matter, and its expression, with a long catalogue of the commentators on every book of Scripture and the authors on every head of divinity, which is what the book was chiefly used for. It is the plain style of the Royal Society applied to the pulpit a generation before the Society existed.
