Christ our Mighty Champion

Spurgeon says in his preface to Thomas Watson’s A Body of Divinity:

“We are not at all surprised to learn that Thomas Watson enjoyed the repute, while at Cambridge, of being a most laborious student; the great Puritanic authors must have been most industrious workers at the university, or they never would have become such pre-eminent masters in Israel.  The conscientious student is the most likely man to become a successful preacher.”
