The Life of Francis Howgill
The Life of Francis Howgill
by: Francis Howgill
This publication is compiled from the complete works of Francis Howgill, which were collected after his death and published in the year 1676 in one volume containing 736 pages, and entitled “The Dawnings of the Gospel day, and Its Light and Glory Discovered, etc.” It is believed that the extracts given here in The Life of Francis Howgill (published by James Backhouse in 1828) comprise the substance of most of his other writings, and present to the reader not only a description of his valuable life, ministry, sufferings for the gospel, and death, but also selections from many of his papers, epistles, and books—particularly his two books entitled “The Glory of the True Church Discovered”, and “Some of the Mysteries of God’s Kingdom Declared.”
