A Mirror that Flatters Not: On Conversion (1677)

St. Bernard of Clairvaux

The anonymous English of 1677 of Bernard's sermon to the clergy of Paris on conversion, cut by the translator into thirty-one chapters (the Maurist text has twenty-two, so this is its own book of the work), with his preface to all new converts and three more 'sermons' that are Bernard's first three Parables: the king's son, and the war between Babylon and Jerusalem.
