Letters of Samuel Rutherford: (Third Edition)
Rutherford, Samuel
Rutherford, Samuel, 1600?-1661 -- Correspondence
20. _Twelve Communion Sermons._ Glasgow, 1876. This collection
includes _Christ's Napkin_; and Song ii. 14-17, _Christ
and the Dove's Heavenly Salutation_. These have internal
evidence in their favour, viz. the language and general
strain of thought. Add to these _The Lamb's Marriage_,
Rev. xix. 7; and another on Song ii. 1-8 appended to a
second edition, 1877, with the title, "Fourteen Communion
Sermons," 1877.
21. _The Cruel Watchmen. The Door of Salvation Opened._
Edinburgh, 1735. Song v. 7, 8, 9, 10. These two are
doubtful; at all events, very imperfect, as usually
printed. The old edition of _The Cruel Watchmen_ is good.
22. There is a _Treatise on Prayer; The Power and Prevalency of
Truth and Prayer evidenced, in a Practical Discourse
upon_ Matt. ix. 27-31. Printed in the year 1713. It is a
small duodecimo of 111 pp., and has this note appended:
"The rest of this Discourse cannot be found, it being
above fifty years since the author died."
An old _Catalogue of the most Vendible Books_, in 1658, gives
as one of his works, _A Rationale on the Book of Common
Prayer_, 8vo. But this is a mistake; Antony Sparrow wrote
the book entitled, _The Rationale, or Practical Exposition
of the Book of Common Prayer_.
The Diaries of Brodie of Brodie (Spalding Club--Preface p.
xix.), refer to "Shorthand Notes of two Sermons by S.
Rutherford." Brodie used to correspond with him, for we
find, August 6, 1655: "Mr. Rutherford exhorted me in his
letter that my right hand might not know what my left
hand did; and he says that he knows not but that the Lord
may divorce the mother, but be a sanctuary to the little
ones." We find further that S. R. wrote urging Brodie "to
present Mr. Thomas Ross to Ila."
23. _Quaint Sermons_ (eighteen in number), by S. R., never before
published, with a prefatory note by Rev. And. A. Bonar.
Hodder and Stoughton, London, 1885.
LETTERS.
I.--_For_ MARION M'NAUGHT, _on the return home of her daughter_.
[In the early editions the date stands "1624," by a mistake for
"1627;" for Rutherford was not settled in Anwoth in 1624.
For a full notice of _Marion M'Naught_, see what is prefixed to
Letter VI.]
