Heaven Opened The Riches of God's Covenant

Richard Alleine (1611-1691) was the brother of the more famous Joseph Alleine, He ministered in the city of Batcomb for more than twenty years until he was ejected in 1662 for nonconformity. As a preacher and pastor, he was greatly respected and very well-known for his pious, practical writings. Though often in trouble with the authorities for continuing to preach after his suspension, his piety and goodness were so conspicuous that his enemies knew they would do more harm than good to their own cause by sending such a man to prison. After the passing of The Five Mile Act, which made it illegal for a nonconformist minister to come within five miles of a church or school, Richard Alleine moved to Froom Selwood, and preached privately there until his death on December 22, 1691Alleine, Richard is the author of 'Heaven Opened The Riches of God's Covenant' with ISBN 9781573581141 and ISBN 1573581143.
