Thomas Gilbert (1613-1694) was an ejected minister and Oxford graduate described by Edmund Calamy as “an ancient divine; an excellent scholar, of extraordinary acuteness, and conciseness of style, and a most scholastical head…the completest schoolman I ever was acquainted with.” Gilbert gained wide respect among non-conformists, writing the epitaphs for Thomas Goodwin, Ichabod Chauncy, and John Owen. Gilbert’s Discourse Concerning the Guilt of Sin examines the distinctions between legal and gospel guilt, formal and virtual pardon, and the proper mode of praying for each kind of pardon. His first readers testified that the light held out in these papers is accounted so clear and so useful, that it hath been thought great pity it hath not been set up upon a candlestick. With this new edition, we hope to furnish that long-needed candlestick, setting Gilbert’s light where it may serve the church once more.
