The Arte of Prophecying, or, A Treatise Concerning the Sacred and Onely True Manner and Methode of Preaching

Perkins's manual of Reformed preaching in Tuke's English: the Word of God as the object of preaching, the interpretation of Scripture and the ways of expounding it, the right dividing of the word, the application of doctrine to seven kinds of hearers, memory, the delivery of the sermon, and the conceiving of prayer, ending with a one-page summary of the method.
