Works of George Swinnock

The 5-volume Works of Puritan George Swinnock have recently become available to read online (HT: Tony Byrne). Of him James Hamilton wrote (Our Christian Classics: Readings from the Best Divines, with Notices Biographical and Critical, Vol. II, p. 282):

Except to a few collectors, the writings of Swinnock are almost unknown; but we confess that we have rejoiced in them as those that find great spoil. So pithy and pungent, and so practical, few books are more fitted to keep the attention awake, and few so richly reward it.

Volume 1: The Christian Man's Calling (Google Books)

Volume 3: The Christian Man's Calling cont'd; Heaven and Hell Epitomised; The Fading of the Flesh (Internet Archive)
