Govett on the New Covenant David H J Gay

David Gay writes: 'No one should be so foolish as to think that because I have published this small volume of extracts on the new covenant and associated topics drawn from the works of Robert Govett that I endorse everything Govett ever wrote. On many things I differ from him. I do not even endorse everything he wrote on the new covenant and the law! Even so, Govett said some powerful and pertinent things on both, and since I have tried in my own works to further the recovery of the full liberty of the gospel, I am pleased to be able to produce this little work, and so let Govett speak to a wider audience than he does at present, hoping to encourage many to go back to the Scriptures and search out these things for themselves... Govett is worth listening to. Don't take my word for it. Bear in mind the opinion of C. H. Spurgeon. He thought more highly of Govett's works than I do! He declared: "Mr Govett wrote a hundred years before his time, and the day will come when his works will be treasured as sifted gold." Well... perhaps not all of them! But, to say the least of it, what I have selected and now publish from the works of Govett merits serious thought'.
