1743 PURITAN Colonial Philadelphia
Dyer Bible Sermons Rev War Soldier PROVENANCE
William Dyer, a nonconformist English preacher born in 1632, was a
Puritan Calvinist who served in Chesham and Buckinghamshire. However, following
the Great Ejection causing countless Puritan preachers to lose their position,
Dyer, among the many, began writing liturgical texts instead of sermons. His
most famous and popular work was ‘Christ’s
Famous Titles’, which, curiously, is simply a collection of his sermons on
the names of Jesus (i.e. Prince of Peace, Wonderful Counselor, King of Kings,
etc.).
This fine 1743 Philadelphia edition contains Dyer’s other works
including ‘A Cabinet of Jewels’ and ‘Christ’s Voice to London’ each having
their own title pages.
