The crook in the lot ;: Or, A display of the sovereignty and wisdom of God in the afflictions of men, and the Christian's deportment under them

Thomas Boston, the author of The Crook in the Lot, was born in the town of Diinse, Scotland, A. D. 1676, of respectable and religious parentage, and was the youngest of seven children. He was licensed to preach the Gospel in 1697, and was ordained at Simprin in 1699. In the year 1700 he married Catherine Brown, a lady of good family and rare endowments of mind; by her he had a number of children, four of whom survived him. He departed this life in the hope of a glorious immortality, A.D. 1732, in the 56th year of his age. In person, Mr. Boston was above the middle stature, and of a grave and amiable aspect. His mind was vigorous and fruitful; his imagination lively but under due restraint; his judgment solid; his affections warm and tender; and his whole demeanour courteous, obliging, and benevolent.
