Gospel Sonnets, by Ralph Erskine (1685 - 1752)
Mr. Erskine's poems are greatly to be esteemed, for the sweetness of the verse, the disposition of the subjects, the elegancy of the composition, and, above all, for that which animates the whole, the savor of divine and experimental knowledge. (Summary by Preface)
