Christ's College
Christ's College, Cambridge was Bernard's Alma Mater
Drawing attention to forgotten puritan Richard Bernard [1568-1641]. I came across him studying Puritan writings on the conscience. Some posts here began life on my personal blog.This prolific Puritan pastor and writer was author of The Faithfull Shepheard and his practice (1607, 1621), a handbook for ministers and an allegory called The Isle of Man (1627).
