The Works of William Perkins, Volume 2

The Works of William Perkins, Volume 2

The Works of William Perkins fills a major gap in Reformed and Puritan
theology. Though Perkins is best known today for his writings on
predestination, he also wrote prolifically on many subjects. His works filled
over two thousand large pages of small print in three folio volumes and were
reprinted several times in the decades after his death. However, his complete
works have not been in print since the mid-seventeenth century. This modern
typeset edition of the Works includes four volumes of PerkinsÆs expositions of
Scripture, three volumes of his doctrinal and polemical treatises, and three
volumes of his practical writings.

This second volume contains PerkinsÆs Commentary on Galatians. Perkins preached
on Galatians each LordÆs Day for over three years. Ralph Cudworth obtained
PerkinsÆs handwritten notes and edited them for publication. Because Perkins
did not complete the commentary, Cudworth supplemented the manuscript with his
own comments on chapter 6.

This commentary of Perkins and Cudworth on Galatians first appeared in print in
1604, two years after PerkinsÆs death. PerkinsÆs other writings had already
begun to be gathered and published. When the three-volume edition of his
collected works first appeared, Galatians occupied over 320 large folio pages
in the second volume (1609). It continued to appear as a part of several
editions of the Works through their final 1635 reprint. Evidently, interest in
the commentary warranted its publication again as a separate volume in 1617.

Following the model taught in his treatise The Art of Prophesying, PerkinsÆs
pattern in commenting on Galatians is to explain the text, deduce a few points
of doctrine from it, answer objections raised against the doctrine, and then
give practical uses of what the passage teaches.
