Spurgeon wrote of him: Rollock’s works are rare. He wrote in Latin, and his language is made more dull than need be by the translator. All his writings are masterly. C. H. Spurgeon, Lectures to My Students: Commenting and Commentaries; Lectures Addressed to the Students of the Pastors’ College, Metropolitan Tabernacle., vol. 4 (New York: Sheldon & Company, 1876), 140. But then he was referring to a book on the Psalms that Rollock wrote, which apparently is not in this set. That's a shame.
