Death: A Sermon On the Scriptural Doctrine of Death (and How to Prepare for Death) 1 of 2

No sooner was he entered into his Master's vineyard, than the people from all quarters flocked to attend his sermons... so much that as he and his learned colleague Mr. Durham were one time walking together, Mr. Durham, observing the multitude thronging into that church where Mr. Gray was to preach, and only a very few going into the church in which he was to preach, said to him, "Brother, I perceive you are to have a throng church to-day."—"To which he answered, "Truly, brother, they are fools to leave you and come to me."—Mr. Durham replied, "Not so dear brother, for none can receive such honour and success in his ministry, except it be given him from heaven, I rejoice that Christ is preached and that his kingdom and interest is getting ground, for I am content to be any thing or nothing that Christ may be all and all." (From Biographia Scoticana or the Scots Worthies by John Howie). This sermon is read by Greg Barrow. Many more Covenanter works are at the Outside Web Link below.
