C.H. Spurgeon said Thomas Brook's writings were "marvelously rich" and his "wealth of imagery surpasses all others of his age."

He continued, "Of all the Puritans he is the most readable... and if he cannot display the depth of Owen or the raciness of Adams, he leaves them far behind in excessive sweetness and sparkling beauty of metaphor."

This item is taken from Thomas Brooks' "London's Lamentation on the Late Fiery Dispensation." Some of the sins catalogued comprehend Atheism, Sabbath-breaking, lying, fornication and sodomy, the mocking of God's servants, a lukewarm ministry and refusal to repent (even under severe judgements).

A good look at what causes God to pour out His wrath, of which our cities and nations can expect an ongoing escalation of, baring a major revival soon.
