1681 Puritan William Bates Lives Pico Mirandola Erasmus Bembo Savonarola Camden

William Bates was one of the most popular and highly esteemed 17^th-century Nonconformist preachers. His sermons and devotional literature express his strong Puritan views and teach on the importance of understanding and spreading the Gospel.

While his devotionals were his most popular works, he did publish an important collection of biographical sketches entitled ‘Vitae Selectorum’. In this work, Bates covers the lives and careers of eminent figures such as Erasmus of Rotterdam, Pietro Bembo, and many others.
