To these general Puritan characteristics, Watson added certain of his own: a master of a terse, vigorous style and a beauty of expression, he could speak not only to win men's understanding but also to secure a place for the truth in their memories. More than most of his generation he sought to follow the example of Christ's teaching by employing all manner of illustrative material from common life, and with simplicity and charm, he spoke words not easy to forget. Two hundred years after Thomas Watson's death William Jay of Bath said that he could go to any one of his books and 'find it ever fresh. pointed and instructive.'  aBeatitudes  aBeatitudes -- Criticism, interpretation, etc  aBible -- Matthew, V, 1-12 -- Criticism, interpretation, etc4 uhttps://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2022/5/9/1534032.jpgyCover Image
