Home / The Saint’s Spiritual Delight, and a Christian on the Mount
Thomas Watson (1620-1686) was a highly esteemed nonconformist Puritans of his day, and one of the most well-known and quoted Puritans. This work is a combination of two of Watson's rare treatises that were taught consecutively to his congregation. The first is called "The Saint's Spiritual Delight" which covers the first part of Psalm 1:2, “But his delight is in the Law of the Lord.” He explains what spiritual delight is, how it relates to the Law of God, the fountain of spiritual delight in Christ. His second treatise comes from Psalm 1:2, "...and in his law doth he meditate day and night." This is a wonderful guide for biblical meditation and one of the best Puritan works on the subject aside from its brevity. He covers the nature, the duty, the subjects, the time, the usefulness, and the excellency of meditation, with certain rules. This work is not a scan or facsimile and has been made easy to read with an active table of contents for electronic versions.
