The Practical Works of the Rev. Richard Baxter, Vol. 10

Volume Ten contains Baxter’s work on godly living, entitled A Saint or a Brute. He attempts to discern the signs of true godliness and examples of godly living. Baxter implores his readers to resist hypocrisy, to keep covenants, and to set for themselves higher and more noble goals. Echoing themes from A Christian Directory, Baxter calls Christians to set themselves apart by living well and making better choices—as signs of their sanctification.
