Notes: Accused of being a follower of the radical Reformer, Kaspar Schwenckfeld, Jörg Berkenmeyer was an individualist in an age of individualists. In this little book, he outlines the kings of Israel and Judah, with something about each one, as they are outlined in the Scriptures. He concludes that most were impious individuals, who did not follow the divine will, and prays that the people of his age will do better. The implications are obvious.
