Little is known of its author George Hutcheson: "an English Biblical scholar, flourished about the middle of the 17th century. He was a minister first at Colomonell, and later at Edinburgh, but was ejected for nonconformity about 1660. In 1669 he preached at Irvine, though he continued steadfastly to oppose the use of the Episcopal liturgy. He died hi 1678.” (McClintock and Strong Biblical Cyclopedia)
