The last few weeks I've been reading the Sprinkle edition of Toplady's Complete works and man oh man is he a good writer! Funny and doctrinally sound. It’s a large volume with two columns of tiny print but worth the struggle. Augustus Toplady was a Calvinist to the core and he devastates the weak arguments of Wesley and other Arminians with flare and style.

HIGHLY recommended.

“As the Church is now internally constituted, her Calvinism is impregnable; while she lives, this is immortal. The legislature have it, indeed, in their power (God forbid they should ever have the inclination!) to melt down her Liturgy, Homilies, and Articles; and, when her component particles are severed by state chemistry, to cast her into the Arminian mould: but, until this is really done, all the artifice of man will never be able to fix the banner of Arminius in the citadel, how daringly soever some of his disciples (John Wesley) may display it on the walls. Our pulpits may declare for free-will; but the desk, our prayers, and the whole of our standard writings as a Church, breathe only the doctrines of grace.” Augustus Toplady, Historic Proof of the Doctrine Calvinism of the Church of England
