==References == | <p> a learned English Calvinistic layman, flourished in the second half of the 17th century as justice of the peace at Burwast, Sussex. He wrote, The [[Divine]] Will considered in its [[Eternal]] Decrees, etc. (1673, 8vo): '''''—''''' [[Answer]] to Dr. Sherlock's [[Discourse]] (1675, 8vo): '''''—''''' [[Precious]] Faith, considered in its Nature, Working, and [[Growth]] (1675, 12mo): '''''—''''' Speculum Theologicae in Christo, or a View of some Divine Truths (1678, 4to) Christus in Corde, or Mystical Union between Christ and [[Believers]] considered (1680. sm. 8vo, and often): '''''—''''' Armatura Dei, or a [[Preparation]] for [[Suffering]] in an Evil Day (1682, 8vo): '''''—''''' Discourse on [[Schism]] (1824, 12mo). Several of his works were published in Ward's [[Library]] of Standard Divinity. "Everything of Polhill is evangelical and valuable," was the testimony of [[Cotton]] Mather; and Williams says: "All the works of this learned layman contain many excellent representations of [[Gospel]] truths, intermixed with a strain of sublime devotion." Of course [[Arminians]] fail to see the consistency of his Bible interpretations, but they nevertheless admire his unction and experience, and regard his writings as precious practical religious works. See Eclectic Revelation 4 th series, 18:202. (J. II. W.) </p> | ||
