About This Item
London: Printed by J[ohn] M[acock] for Walter Kettilby..., 1674. FIRST EDITION. 8vo, pp. [xvi], 432, late 18th century tree sheepskin, rebacked with old ornately gilt spine and red morocco label laid down; base of spine a little chipped, but an attractive copy, from the Easton Neston Library, with library label for shelf mark and the armorial bookplate of Sir Thomas Hesketh, Bart. on the front paste-down end-paper. This was Sherlock's first book, "aimed at the Independent divine John Owen, who asserted that God's mercy could be known only through Christ. Sherlock's ridicule of this position brought a reply from Owen in which he was supported by several other dissenters, including Thomas Danson, Edward Polhil, and Vincent Alsop. Sherlock answered in A Defence and Continuation of the Discourse (1675). This controversy, in which Sherlock's position was attacked by some dissenters as moralist, gave expression to the theological differences between dissenters and Anglicans, although many Anglicans held Calvinist opinions and many dissenters were moralist" (Oxford DNB)
