The rare jewel of Christian contentment. : Wherein is shewed, 1. What contentment is. 2. The holy art or mysterie of it. 3. Several lessons that Christ teacheth to work the heart to contentment. 4. The excellencies of it. 5. The evils of murmuring. 6. The aggravations of the sin of murmuring

The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment first appeared in 1648 and speaks volumes to Christians today. An exposition of Philippians 4:11, it describes the inner satisfaction enjoyed by true Christians who look up to Christ as their life and not down at this world's many problems. It is happiness without having everything we want. It is joy even when we feel sad. It is true contentment in the will of God, and not just because there is nothing else we can do. Every Christian will benefit from reading, meditating on, and transforming their minds with Burrough's treatment of Christian contentment. Jeremiah Burroughs (1599-1646) was an English Congre-gationalist and a well-known Puritan preacher. Burroughs studied at Emmanuel College, Cambridge, and was graduated M.A. in 1624, but left the university because of non-conformity. He was assistant to Edmund Calamy at Bury St. Edmunds, and in 1631 became rector of Tivetshall, Norfolk. He was suspended for non-conformity in 1636 and soon afterward deprived, he went to Rotterdam in 1637 and became "teacher" of the English church there. He returned to England in 1641 and served as preacher at Stepney and Cripplegate, London. He was a member of the Westminster Assembly and one of the few who opposed the Presbyterian majority.
