This was the last book printed in Sibbes’ lifetime, was his longest, and most popular, going through four editions by 1658). Richard Sibs (Sibbes), 1577 – 1635 was born in Suffolk, and was ordained as a minister in Norwich in 1608. “His preaching awakened Cambridge from the spiritual indifference into which it had fallen after the death of (William) Perkins. … John Cotton and Hugh Peters were converted under Sibbe’s preaching. … He wrote at least thirteen introductions to the writings of his Puritan colleagues. … The historian Daniel Neal described Sibbes as a celebrated preacher, an educated divine, and a charitable and humble man who repeatedly underestimated his gifts. … David Masson, biographer of John Milton, wrote, ‘No writings in practical theology seem to have been so much read in the mid-seventeenth century among the pious English middle classes as those of Sibbes.’ (Beeke, pg 534 etc)
