    There is no better introduction to the Puritans than the writings of Richard Sibbes, who is, in many ways, a typical Puritan. `Sibbes never wastes the student’s time,’ wrote C. H. Spurgeon, `he scatters pearls and diamonds with both hands.’
    没有比理查德·西布斯的著作更好的介绍清教徒的了,他在很多方面都是一个典型的清教徒。”西布斯从不浪费学生的时间,”C·H·斯珀金写道,”他双手散播珍珠和钻石。”

    Since its first publication in 1630, The Bruised Reed has been remarkably fruitful as a source of spiritual help and comfort. Richard Baxter records: `A poor peddler came to the door . . . and my father bought of him Sibbe’s Bruised Reed . . . It suited my state . . . and gave me a livelier apprehension of the mystery of redemption and how much I was beholden to Jesus Christ . . . Without any means but books was God pleased to resolve me to himself.’ Such testimonies could be multiplied. 
    自 1630 年首次出版以来,《受伤的芦苇》作为一种精神帮助和安慰的来源,产生了显著的成果。理查德·巴克斯特记录道:“一个贫穷的小贩来到门口……我父亲从他那里买了西贝的《受伤的芦苇》……它适合我的状态……让我更加深刻地理解了救赎的奥秘以及我对耶稣基督的感激之情……上帝没有通过任何其他方式,只是通过书籍使我归向他。”这样的证言可以不胜枚举。

    Speaking of the preacher’s need to suit his reading to the varying conditions he finds within, Dr Martyn Lloyd Jones says in his Preaching and Preachers:
    说到传道人需要根据他所遇到的不同情况来适应他的阅读,马丁·劳埃德·琼斯博士在他的《传道与传道者》一书中说道:

    You will find, I think, in general that the Puritans are almost invariably helpful . . . I shall never cease to be grateful to one of them called Richard Sibbes who was balm to my soul at a period in my life when I was overworked and badly overtired, and therefore subject in an unusual manner to the onslaughts of the devil. In that state and condition . . . what you need is some gentle, tender treatment for your soul. I found at that time that Richard Sibbes, who was known in London in the early seventeenth century as `the heavenly Doctor Sibbes’, was an unfailing remedy. His books The Bruised Reed and The Soul’s Conflict quietened, soothed, comforted, encouraged and healed me.”
    你会发现,我认为清教徒几乎总是乐于助人……我将永远感激其中一位名叫理查德·西布斯的人,在我生命中一个过度劳累和疲惫不堪的时期,他给了我心灵的安慰,因此我以一种不同寻常的方式受到了魔鬼的攻击。在那种状态和情况下……你需要的是一些温柔、细致的对待来治愈你的灵魂。我当时发现,被称为“天堂医生西布斯”的理查德·西布斯在 17 世纪初的伦敦是一种不竭的良药。他的书《受伤的芦苇》和《灵魂的冲突》使我平静、安抚、安慰、鼓励和治愈了我。

    —————-

    The prophet Isaiah, being lifted up and carried with the wing of a prophetical spirit, passes over all the time between him and the appearing of Jesus Christ in the flesh. Seeing with the eye of prophecy, and with the eye of faith, Christ as present, he presents him, in the name of God, to the spiritual eye of others, in these words: `Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles. He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street. A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth’ (Isa. 42:1 3). These words are alleged by Matthew as fulfilled now in Christ (Matt. 12:18 20). In them are propounded, first, the calling of Christ to his office; secondly, the manner in which he carries it out.
    先知以赛亚被先知的灵感托起,跨越了他与耶稣基督在肉身中显现之间的所有时间。以先知的眼光和信仰的眼光,他看到基督的存在,并以上帝的名义将他呈现给他人的灵性眼光,用以下的话语:「看哪,我的仆人,我所扶持,所拣选,心里所喜悦的,我已将我的灵赐给他,他必将公理传给外邦。他不喧嚷,不扬声,也不使街上听见他的声音。压伤的芦苇,他不折断;将残的灯火,他不吹灭;他凭真实将公理传开。」(以赛亚书 42:1-3)马太引用这些话语,称其在基督身上得以应验(马太福音 12:18-20)。其中首先阐述了基督被召到他的职位上,其次是他履行职责的方式。
