It deserves attention that this pamphlet, with its humble title, "A Discourse concerning Liturgies," etc., and printed anonymously in 1662, contains the judgment of our author in regard to measures which gave rise to most important events in the ecclesiastical history of England. It is an argument against the liturgy, the imposition of which obliged nearly two thousand clergy of the Church of England to resign their livings rather than sacrifice a good conscience.

Volume 8 of the Complete Works of John Owen explores the Holy Spirit's role in prayer, assuring salvation, and equipping the church for ministry. These 3 treatises have been edited for modern readers by Puritan scholar Andrew S. Ballitch.

In his "Discourse of Ecclesiastical Polity" Samuel Parker decried religious toleration as unfriendly to social order, and attempted to blacken the character of the Nonconformists. Owen was chosen to reply to Parker, which he did in one of the noblest controversial treatises that were ever penned by him. The mind of Owen seems to have been whetted by his deep sense of wrong, and he writes with a remarkable clearness and force of argument; while he indulges at times in a style of irony that is perhaps justified by the baseness and wickedness of Parker's sentiments.

Volume 7 of The Complete Works of John Owen includes 2 treatises on illumination and biblical interpretation--written by 17th-century theologian John Owen and edited for modern readers by Andrew Ballitch.
