"The most luminous and weighty appeal on the subject, one in the highest degree deserving the study of every minister, and of every candidate for the sacred office," writes Aydelott, in the preface.

He continues, "I know of no treatise comparable to it for clear, simple, sublime -- in a word -- Scriptural views of the Gospel Ministry; its close, pungent appeals to the conscience, and its solemn, melting, overwhelming addresses to the heart. Indeed, I do pity the minister who can read it without trembling, and often with tearful eyes looking upward, entreating forgiveness for the past, and, renewing his vows, by God's grace, to be more faithful in the time to come."

Macfarlane called Brown, "Perhaps the most remarkable divine that our country has produced" (Johnston, Treasury of the Scottish Covenant, 485).
