Special Providence for Anxious Souls

The Edition

Notes: A modernized-language edition of the doctrine-of-providence material (on Matthew 10:29–31) originally appended to Sedgwick's The Shepherd of Israel (1658), edited with an introductory essay by Stephen J. Yuille. Distinct from Providence Handled Practically (Reformation Heritage, 2007), an earlier modern edition of the same underlying material. Part of Reformation Heritage's own Puritan Treasures for Today series — not a Soli Deo Gloria title, despite sharing SDG's Puritan-reprint character.
