Volume 11 concludes Manton’s exposition of John 17 with 30 sermons on Jesus’ prayer for all believers. The second half of this volume is devoted to a lengthy collection of sermons on Romans 6 and the first part of Romans 8. These sermons explore many key Pauline themes, such as the contrasts between grace and the law, between the flesh and the spirit, and between death in sin and life in Christ.

“If men were sensible of their danger, they would be more earnest to get the sentence reversed and repealed before it were executed upon them; they are not sure of a day’s respite; it is a stupid dulness not to be affected with this woful condition; there is but a step between them and death, and they mind it not.” (Page 386)
“The Father is, as it were, the root, Christ the trunk, the Spirit the sap, we the branches, and our works the fruits” (Page 24)
“If there be two or three suns appear, one or two are but a reflection.” (Page 55)
How hard and successful a student he was, and how frequent and laborious a preacher, and how highly and deservedly esteemed; all this, and more, is commonly known.
Ministers who do not know Manton need not wonder if they are themselves unknown.
The fertility of his mind seems to have been truly astonishing. Every page in his books contains many ideas . . . I regard Manton as a divine of singularly well-balanced, well-proportioned, and scriptural views. . . . As an expositor of Scripture, I regard Manton with unmingled admiration.
Perhaps few men of the age in which he lived had more virtues and fewer failings.
