| Description: | Some of you may be interested in knowing more about this interesting, but virtually unknown pastor. Hercules Collins is very interesting to me since he was what I desire to be: a pastor-theologian who was strongly committed to the task of preaching God’s Word faithfully to His people. His theology was worked out in the crucible of pastoral ministry during a twenty-six year pastorate (1676-1702) at London’s oldest Baptist church. This church was first pastored by John Spilsbury. Hercules was the third pastor of this historic congregation (which is still in existence) and would later be followed by such notables as Abraham Booth and Ernest Kevan. Half of Collins’ pastorate was during the period of persecution of dissenters prior to the Act of Toleration (1689). Collins himself was even jailed for his nonconformity in 1684. |

Hercules Collins on Sermon Preparation and Dependence Upon God
We may say in this case, as we use to speak about Salvation, that we ought to live so holily as if we were to be sav’d by our living, and yet when we have done all, to rely upon Christ and his Righteousness; so we should labour in Study, as if we should have no immediate Assistance in the Pulpit, and yet when we have done all, to go about our Work depending upon God for further Assistance. Hercules Collins, The Temple Repair’d, 36
