Thomas Chalmers - approvingly quoted by Spurgeon - called this 'a work of gigantic strength as well as gigantic size', saying, 'he who hath mastered it is very little short . . . of being an erudite and accomplished theologian.'

Among its treasures is a 300-page internal appendix presenting Owen's magnificent treatment of the divine covenants, never equalled. His conclusions (contrasting with the Presbyterian views) became the view of the Particular Baptists, except for the baptism of children.
