Robert Bolton, English Puritan (1572 -- December 17, 1631) was a noted Puritan minister in his day. He was the author of The Carnal Professor, Discourse About the State of True Happiness, The Four Last Things: Death, Judgment, Hell, Heaven, General Directions for a Comfortable Walking with God and Instructions for Comforting Afflicted Consciences, the last of which was highly commended by Gisbertus Voetius in Spiritual Desertion.

True story that happened to me about a year and a half ago:

I was standing at the bus stop reading Robert Bolton's The Four Last Things when a skinny lady with meth sores on her face jaywalked across the street to approach me. She wore red, tight, shorts and a fake fur coat. Her dirty high-heeled shoes were worn and starting to show her toes.

"Hi, what are you reading?"

"I'm reading about Death, Judgment, Hell, and Heaven."

She spun as if I had hit her across the face and walked off. So much for street evangelism.
