Bible Note: Greetings Searcher56! According to http://www.puritanboard.com/f18/francis-roberts-22125/, "Francis Roberts, English Puritan (1609 - 1675) was a Presbyterian minister who conformed at the Restoration. He published a metrical version of the Psalms (1644) and is most famous for his "1750-page magnum opus on the covenants (The Mystery and Marrow of the Bible: viz. God’s Covenants with Man, 1657)," a copy of which exists at PTRS's Puritan Resource Center (1). For a recent study of his theology, see Won Taek Lim, The Covenant Theology of Francis Roberts (2007)." (posted by VirginiaHuguenot) Therefore, Doc is correct in pointing out that there was a fellow named Francis Roberts who lived during Puritan times. The fact that Mike mentioned his grandmother is quite possibly just a misunderstanding between Doc and Mike, and only clarification (and not an apology) would be needed to bring a more constructive approach to the dialogue.
