1644 WILLIAM SPURSTOWE. England's Eminent Judgements. God Judges Nation for Church's Unfaithfulness.

A rather scarce sermon by one of the "Grand Presbyterians," founders of Smectymnuus, along with Edmund Calamy, Stephen Marshall, etc., which led to the formation of the Westminster Assembly, and an influential Puritan divine during the critical periods of the English Civil War and, later, the Great Ejection of 1662. 

After the Ejection, he gave haven to Richard Baxter and others who had also forfeited their livings for conscience' sake. 

In the present sermon, preached during the English Reformation, Spurstowe argues that English stands on a precipice and is about to be judged because of the unfaithfulness of Christians, the Christian Church, and a nation that itself professes to be Christian.
