Christ Crucified

In 1570 at the request of Edmund Grindal Bishop of London John Foxe preached a sermon at Paul's Cross which was an open-air pulpit {on the grounds of St. Paul's Cathedral} of mostly timber with room for 3 or 4 inside it set on stone steps with a lead-covered roof and a low surrounding wall. From here was preached much of the English Reformation with sermons preached here usually printed and thus redistributed to a wider audience. This lofty exposition of the Protestant doctrine of redemption and attack on the doctrinal errors of the Papist Church was enlarged and published that year as A Sermon of Christ Crucified. To know the crucified sacrifice of Christ's body to be a perfect deliverance of all his people to be a full satisfaction once and for ever for all our sins - to be a free justification redemption and righteousness before God for ever to all them that believe in him without any other means or help adjoined to him - this is to know Christ Jesus crucified.
