Spurgeon on the Puritans

In 1872, Spurgeon said, "We assert this day that, when we take down a volume of Puritanical theology we find in a solitary page more thinking and more learning, more Scripture, more real teaching, that in whole folios of the effusions of modern thought.  The modern men would be rich if they possessed even the crumbs that fall from the table of the Puritans."
