	Description: Greenhill on Ezekiel, first published in five quarto volumes, constitutes one of the foremost of Puritan works in Old Testament exposition. Delivered to crowded congregations in the city of London, the content is popular and in the best seventeenth century tradition of experimental preaching which spoke to heart and conscience as well as the mind. It would be too much to say that Greenhill provides everything necessary for an understanding of this prophet but what he does give surely justified two nineteenth century editions. It is the best of these editions which is here reprinted and upon which another famous London preacher, C.H. Spurgeon, commented: 'We always get something out of Greenhill whenever we refer to him. He had not, of course, the critical skill of the present day, but his spiritual insight was keen. He rather commented on a passage than expounded it.' William Greenhill, born Oxfordshire and educated at Magdalen College, was a member of the Westminster Assembly and minister of the parish of Stepney, Middlesex, where, at one time, he lectured with his fellow Puritan, Jeremiah Burroughs. As Burroughs preached at seven in the morning and Greenhill at three in the afternoon they were known respectively as 'the Morning Star' and 'the Evening Star' of Stepney. From that parish Greenhill was ejected in 1660 but he continued to serve a congregational church there until his death in 1671. John Howe referred to him as 'that eminent servant of God, Mr. Greenhill, whose praise is still in the churches'.
