About the author
Born in Kent around 1591 or 1592, William Pemble was an English theologian and author associated with Magdalen College and Magdalen Hall, Oxford. He studied under the noted preacher Richard Capel and later became known there as a reader and tutor.
Pemble died young in 1623, but his reputation endured through writings that were published after his death. His work was valued by later religious readers for its thoughtful, practical approach to Protestant belief and devotion.
Today he is chiefly remembered as an early seventeenth-century Puritan writer whose sermons, treatises, and biblical reflections continued to circulate well beyond his lifetime.
