John Colquhoun, (1748-1827) former pastor New Church in South Leith, Scotland. Educated at Glasgow University. Shortly after his conversion he walked all the way from Luss to Glasgow, a distance in all of about fifty miles,
to buy a copy of Thomas Boston's Fourfold State. This book had a moulding
influence on his early Christian life. He came to esteem it next to his Bible.
The influence of Boston's teaching was later to permeate his ministry and
writings.
