A collection of 4 religious works written by minister John Bourcher and presented to his benefactor Michael Bowyer as a token of his appreciation. While the first two sermons Bourcher included were preached by him in 1640, he states in his presentation to Bowyer that a third sermon and a poem were penned with the expectation that he might one day return to the pulpit after an illness. While the particulars of Bourcher's life are unknown, it is possible he was a minister in Cranford, Middlesex, while the Michael Bowyer for whom this work was written may be the stage actor of the 1620s-1640s of the same name.
