A 1656 Voter Guide

Preface

Incredibly little is known about William Gurnall. He was a Puritan who pastored in Lavenham, Suffolk and he wrote a 1300+ page book on the Armor of God. Beyond that, all I can add is he is brilliant!

But let me narrow my thoughts to this small booklet on politics, and in particular, voting.

Author's Note:

I found this sermon while I was listening to a compilation of Gurnall's works. With my focus of late on Washington D.C., I was stopped dead in my tracks for Rev. William Gurnall could have been a 21st Century pastor speaking to what he is seeing in the USA.

In reality, however, he is a 17th Century Pastor with a prophetic voice to his Congregation in Lavenham, Suffolk, England on the day they were to vote for Parliamentary leadership, in 1656.

I'm not sure how you will view this booklet. For me it was sobering.

Enjoy or Maybe Not
