REFORMED,COVENATER, AND PURITAN
BOOK SET SALE
Get books into your houses, when you have not the
spring near you, then get some water into your cisterns; so when you have not
that wholesome preaching that you desire, good
books are cisterns that hold the water of life in them to refresh
you; so, when you find a chillness upon your souls, and that your former heat
begins to abate, ply yourselves with warm clothes, get
those good books that may acquaint you with such truths as may warm and affect
your hearts.
by Thomas Watson (English
Covenanted Presbyterian, 1633-1686)
"I have been systematically working through
reading the... Reformed CDs I purchased. I must say, there is nothing like
them available anywhere. It is the most amazing collection of works I know of
in one package to date... The Puritan and Reformed material presented on these CDs
is exceptional. I am continually amazed at the depth and breadth of information
in both collections, and the rarity of works that I now have at my fingertips.
You have done an immeasurable service for the Kingdom of Christ in making these
CDs available, and every pastor and theologian should own them without question
(they would be foolhardy to pass them by) ... more"

Foxe's Book of Martyrs (c. 1554; 8 volumes, 1843-49 edition)
"No book ever inflicted a wound so deep
and incurable on the Romish system of superstition & bloody persecution... (it) was placed in...
all churches and chapels throughout the kingdom, by order of Queen
Elizabeth." (Smith, Select Memoirs [$US19.99 P; $US29.00 HP], p. 245). Contains much information not found in any of the liberally
edited & severely shortened editions of this classic work which are in
print today. Covering martyrs from the early church through to Foxe's
day, it was one of the most influential books of the sixteenth century! It overflows with faith
building testimony of the power of God to overcome the most cruel &
barbarous acts of human depravity & demonic cruelty. 6890 pages. A very rare set, now back in print after 150 years!

WITSIUS, HERMAN
The Economy of the Covenants
Between God and Man Comprehending a Complete Body of Divinity (1822, 2
volumes)
"The sale of Witsius' Economy of the
Covenants,
increases among my friends. The translation is very just, and the excellency of
the work merits a place in every Christian's library; I shall do my utmost to
recommend it at all times, and on all proper occasions. No pious person on
earth can forbear reading the 3d book without wonder, rapture, and devotion. It
exceeds all commendation: Hervey might well say, "I would not scruple to
risk all my reputation upon the merits of this performance." For my own part,
I am not ashamed, nor afraid of any scorn and ridicule, that may be poured on
me from any quarter, whilst I constantly aver, that the
work has not its equal in the world" (Extract of a Letter to the
Publisher). "Herman Witsius (1636-1708) was one
of the most notable Dutch theologians of the sixteenth and seventeenth
centuries. His influence theologically was
felt both at home and abroad. Witsius also excelled as a friend and supporter
of the cause of the downtrodden and persecuted Covenanters (as represented by
Cameron, Cargill, and Renwick). He was particularly instrumental in the
ordination of Mr. James Renwick who was ordained by the Classis of Groningen"

Resource 4. GOUGE,
WILLIAM
Hebrews Commentary (1655,
1866 edition, 3 volumes)
Originally titled: "A Learned and Very Useful Commentary on the Whole Epistle to the Hebrews;
Wherein Every Word and Particle in the Original is Explained, and the Emphasis
Thereof Fully Shewed; the Sense and Meaning of Every Verse Logically and
Exactly Analyzed; Genuine Doctrines Naturally Raised; The Manifold Types of
Christ Unveiled, etc. Being the Substance of Thirty Years' Wednesday's Lectures
at Blackfriars, London." Darling calls this "a labourious and
valuable work, of very rare occurrence" (Cyclopaedia Bibliographica, p. 1295). "We greatly prize Gouge," writes Spurgeon of this
commentary, "upon any topic which he touches he gives outlines which may
supply sermons for months" (Commenting on Commentaries). Gouge's son, Thomas
(himself a Fellow at King's College, Cambridge), writes in the "Epistle to
the Reader," "that there is scare a point in divinity which he (i.e.
his father William--RB) handled upon any portion of Scripture in the whole
course of his ministry, but he hath brought the substance of it into this
Commentary... wherein I conceive, thou mayest find as many points of divinity,
cases of conscience and controversies, fully, clearly, though succinctly
handled, as in any commentary whatsoever yet extant... At the end of this
Commentary, besides a large English table of all the material points treated of
by the author, I have added an Alphabetical Index of above seven hundred Greek
words, which thou mayest find learnedly and dexterously explicated, either by
their etymologies, synonymas, or various acceptations (if they be polysemata),
or if not, yet thou hast the clearest and most familiar explication that each
word is capable of. For it was on part of the author's excellency, that
constantly in the course of his ministry he did endeavour to instill into the
heads of his auditors (listeners--RB) the fullest sense of the Spirit in a
familiar way, though veiled under many significant, simple, compound, or
decomposite notions. Such was his depth of judgment, that after he had
conferred place with place, he could suddenly methodise the different senses,
and give forth the quintessence of all his collations, so as the meanest
capacity might be edified by him... The author's sole aim in all his ministry being
the same with Augustine and in his Commentary like that of Jerome, to hold out
clearly the meaning of the Spirit, and not his own fancies and conceits." Gouge was a leader among the Covenanted English
Presbyterians, a respected member of the Westminster Assembly and one of its
most active members. Some of his enemies vilified him as an "Arch
Puritan." 1162 pages of the cream of Puritan-style
commentating.

Six Saints of the Covenant (2
volumes, 1901)
Covers the lives of Peden, Semple, Welwood,
Cameron, Cargill and Smith. These two volumes are edited with illustrative
documents, introduction, notes, and a glossary by David Hay Fleming. Walker's advantage in writing of these men, as Hay
Fleming points out, can be seen in "that he lived in the times of which he
wrote, that he personally knew many of the Covenanters and martyrs of whom he
wrote, and that he was himself a shrewd observer and was endowed with a
tenacious memory." Walker himself had endured imprisonment
and torture for the Covenanted cause and Burton writes that his "unadorned
descriptions of suffering and heroism convey a lesson to the heart which no
genius or learning could strengthen." 629 pages, indexed.

RUTHERFORD, SAMUEL
A Survey of the Spiritual
Antichrist (1648)
The subtitle reads: "Opening the Secrets of Familisme and Antinomianism in the
Antichristian Doctrine of John Saltmarth, and William Del, the present
Preachers of the Army (headed by Oliver Cromwell--RB) now in England, and of
Robert Town, Tobiah Crisp, H. Denne, Eaton and others. In which is revealed the
rise and spring of Antinomianism, Familists, Libertines, Swench-feldians,
Enthysiasts, etc. The minde of Luther a most professed opposer of Antinomianism,
is cleared, and diverse considerable points of the Law and the Gospel, of the
Spirit and the Letter, of the two Covenants, of the nature of free grace,
exercise under temptations, mortification, justification, sanctification, are
discovered. In Two parts." Also contains Rutherford's "A
brotherly and free Epistle to the patrons and friends of pretended Liberty of
Conscience." Putting this work into its context, James Clark, in The
Life and Works of Samuel Rutherford (in the chapter titled "Antinomianism")
writes, "This is another main controversy into which Samuel Rutherford
entered. The term 'Antinomian" signifies one who is 'against God's Law'.
The Antinomians were a major sect in the 1640's. They denounced as 'Legalists'
the Christians who, like Paul, 'serve the law of God' (Rom. 7:25). They
asserted that grace removes the Law out of the Christian's life, as absolutely
as it does out of his salvation. This dangerous heresy, which is still popular,
makes it no fault to disobey God's Moral Law, and turn grace into wantonness.
Rutherford mentioned this heresy in several of his works before publishing in
1648 his SURVEY OF THE SPIRITUAL ANTICHRIST, written
specifically against the Antinomians. The subtlety of Antinomians is
that they oppose the use of the Law as a positive standard for holy living in
the name of the Gospel! The Apostle Paul repudiated this error in Rom. 3:31; 6:1,2;
Gal. 5:13" (p. 52). This book contains over 600 pages.

Resource 7. MANTON,
THOMAS
The Complete Works of Thomas
Manton
(22 Volumes)
Manton was "one of the most eminent of the
Nonconformist divines." He was born in 1620 and died in 1677. He was
chosen to write "The Epistle to the Reader: Especially Heads of
Families" of the famous Westminster standards. "Received episcopal
institution in 1661. Resigned in 1662, on account of the Act of Uniformity
(which among other wicked, Satanic enactments, its principal terms required a
"declaration of 'unfeigned assent and consent' to everything contained in
the Book of Common Prayer, re-ordination for those not episcopally
ordained" and, most evil of all, "a renunciation of the Solemn League
and Covenant. Knowing that the Puritans would not submit to such terms, the
Authorities framed the Act to secure their expulsion" cf. Sermons of
the Great Ejection by Iain Murray [Banner of Truth, reprinted 1962]). He was a
man of great learning and extensive reading, of a sound judgement, and had
the art of reducing volumes of divinity into a narrow compass. According to
Charnock, he was the best collector of sense of the age. Dr. Bates says , 'A
clear judgement, rich fancy, strong memory, and happy elocution, met in him,
and were excellently improved by diligent study'" (James Darling, Cyclopaedia
Bibliographica,
1854, pp. 1953-1954). Includes Manton's better known volumes, such as his
commentary on James and Jude and his Sermons on Psalm 119, as well as a host of
other practical preaching, teaching and Scriptural exposition. The 22nd volume
contains two large indices (by subject and text). A full list of everything

Resource 8. THE
ENGLISH HEXAPLA EXHIBITING THE SIX IMPORTANT ENGLISH TRANSLATIONS OF THE
NEW TESTAMENT SCRIPTURES, WICLIF, TYNDALE, CRANMER, GENEVAN, ANGLO-RHEMISH,
AUTHORIZED OR KING JAMES VERSION (1841)
"Hexapla," of course, means
"six-fold" or "six-columned" As the section of this book
explaining the "Plan of the English Hexapla" notes, "the term
'Hexapla' was originally applied to the work executed by Origen in the 3rd
century; in which the first column contained the Hebrew Text of the Old
Testament; the second, the Hebrew text in Greek letters; the third, Aquila's
Greek version; the fourth, the translation of Symmachus; the fifth, the LXX
version (i.e. the Septuagint--RB); the sixth, Theodotion's version." The English Hexapla offered here contains the six English
translations noted in the title, arranged side by side for easy comparison and
reference. Dates for each version used are as follows: Wiclif (1380),
Tyndal (1534), Cranmer (1539), Geneva (1557), Rheims (1582), King James Version
(1611).
Of special interest may be the Geneva 1557 version (from a copy of the first
edition), as both Geneva Bible's presently in print contain later versions
(1599 and 1602) of this text. It should also be noted that the notes to the
Geneva Bible are not included in the English Hexapla, just the text. The 1611
edition of the KJV will also be of value to those who would like to compare it
with the more modern version of this translation. "The notation of the verses
has been inserted in all the translations, for convenience of reference... In
illustration of the utility of the comparison of the various translations, much
that is interesting might be advanced, but which the use of the volume will at
once afford. The varied, although ordinarily equivalent manner in which the
different translators render the same phrase, often throws much light upon the
exact meaning; and when the versions vary in sense, the enquiry suggested with
reference to the Original cannot fail to afford profit while it interests"
("Plan of the English Hexapla," pp. 161-162). Additionally this
English Hexapla also includes "The original Greek text after Scholz
with the various readings of the Textus Receptus and the principal
Constantinopolitan and Alexanderine manuscripts, and a complete collation of
Scholz's text with Griesbach's edition of 1805... The Greek text has been
placed in the upper part of each page, for the purpose of facilitating the
comparison of the versions with the Original, so desirable when they vary in
rendering any passage." This is all preceeded by a detailed and
annotated 160 page historical account of the English translations.

JOHN
Calvin's Selected Works (7
Volumes)
These remarkable volumes contain Calvin's tracts
and letters. They clearly exhibit why Calvin was one of the great saints (who defended the regulative principle of worship) and
why his work was singularly blessed of God. Understanding these works will
shed much light on our current situation; for many in the professed Christian
community live in as great (or greater) darkness today than those who were
contemporaries of Calvin. This set contains such classics as "The Necessity of
Reforming the Church," "The Catechism of the Church of Geneva,"
"An Antidote Against Trent," "The Sinfulness of Outward
Conformity to Romish Rites" and much more. Calvin's
only letter to Luther, his letters to Knox, Bullinger, Beza and a host of other
Reformers, along with Beza's 100 page Life of Calvin are also all included. Indexed, 3507 pages.

Presbytery called Durham's Complete Commentary... On the Book of Revelation [$39.98, 2 vol. rare
bound photocopy], "the best exposition of that book that has yet been
published"
(p. 61n). Had they had the privilege of reading Steele's Notes on the
Apocalypse
we are quite certain that they would have given it a similar endorsement.
Though written in a different style than Durham's work, Steele's notes on
Revelation may be even more valuable in many respects -- Steele having taken a
more decided position "in the wilderness." Steele
also had the benefit of many more resources, having written over two centuries
later. Steele's aim in writing this book is made clear in his own words
taken from the preface,
As this work is intended for the instruction and
edification of the unlearned, rather than for the entertainment of the learned,
words of foreign extract are used as seldom as possible. Practical remarks and
reflections are rarely introduced; the principal aim being simply to
ascertain and present to the reader the mind of the Holy Spirit. How far this object
has been accomplished, is of course left to the judgment of the honest
inquirer. The reader, however, in forming his judgment of the value of these
Notes, may be reminded of that inspired rule in searching the
Scriptures,--"Comparing spiritual things with spiritual." To assist
him in the application of this divine rule, many chapters and verses are quoted
from other parts of the Bible, but especially within the Apocalypse itself;
that by concentrating the various rays upon particular texts or symbols, their
intrinsic light may be rendered more luminous. Thus the interpretation given,
if correct, may be confirmed and illustrated.
Appendices include a section on, The New Jerusalem, The Antichrist, The Image of the Beast,
The Beast's "deadly wound," The Little Book, The Death of the
Witnesses, The Mark of the Beast, The First Resurrection, The Identity of the
Two Witnesses, Sounding of the Seventh Trumpet and The Title of this Book (i.e.
the Book of Revelation--RB). This work also includes various
"animadversions on the interpretations (of Revelation--RB) of several among
the most learned and approved expositors of Britain and America."
Comments on this work include the four given
below, all which were given without the solicitation or knowledge of the
author. The Evangelical Repository notes, "the author adduces a greater
number of Scriptural illustrations than any other writer on prophecy we ever
met with."
Hutcheson writes, "I can recommend it to any person as condensing the
best thoughts to be had on the subject." Brooks says, "I have derived
more knowledge of the Apocalypse from this work than from all other expositions
which I have consulted." And finally, John Cunningham comments, "It
is neither a dictionary nor concordance; neither a confession of faith, nor an
encyclopedia, but a thesaurus of Theology, embodying the characters of all
these."
Steele dedicated this work to John Cunningham, author of The Ordinance of
Covenanting

DABNEY, ROBERT LEWIS
Discussions of Robert Lewis
Dabney (3 volumes, 1891)
Warfield called Dabney "the most
conspicuous figure and the leading theological guide of the Southern
Presbyterian Church, the most prolific theological writer that Church has as
yet produced."
These three volumes of articles and essays vindicate Warfield's statement.
"This is not a book to be read and returned to the library shelf,"
states the well known Baptist minister Al Martin, "rather, as I have found
to my own profit, it ought to be read, digested, and kept close at hand as a
guide, companion and constant prod to us." Dr.
Archibald Alexander called Dabney, "the best teacher of theology in the
United States, if not the world." Freundt notes, "Dabney championed the doctrines of Calvinism and applied
them consistently and practically to the great issues of his times."

DIODATI, JOHN
Pious and Learned Annotations
Upon the Holy Bible Plainly Expounding the Most Difficult Places Thereof By
that Godly and Famous Divine, Mr. John Diodati, Late Minister of the Gospel in
Geneva (third edition [in two volumes], 1651)
The title continues: "Corrected and much
augmented, with additional notes of the same author, throughout the whole work.
And the analysis upon each several book of the Old and New Testament, setting
down the chief heads contained therein, being very much enlarged, is now fully
completed in this third edition." "These Annotations were first
written in Italian, by a reverend Protestant Divine
of the Church of Geneva, the most reformed in all France, and famous for the
great lights of it, John Calvin, Theodore Beza, and this renowned John Diodati,
their successor both in place and eminent erudition.... In fine,
here are choice Meditations, and sound expositions, more to be valued then
refined gold... and the choicest subject the world ever afforded, being Jesus
Christ and him crucified, who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life"
(Translator from "To the Reader"). Concerning Diodati, Darling (Cyclopaedia
Bibliographica,
p. 918) writes, "Born at Geneva 1576; died 1640. This celebrated Italian
Protestant divine, belonging to a noble family from Lucca in Italy, is known
chiefly by his biblical works, and by his translation of Father Paul's
History of the Council of Trent into French. He was
sent in 1618 by the Church of Geneva to the Synod of Dort. His
translation of the Bible into Italian is still considered one of the
best." Regarding these Annotations in particular Darling further notes,
"Short, but comprehensive practical annotations; many of them were
introduced into the (Westminster--RB) Assembly's Annotations. The above (i.e.
the third edition--RB) is the best edition." Richard
Baxter, in compiling a list of the most essential books for Christian
edification, after listing the Bible and a Concordance, counseled Christians to
obtain "a sound Commentary or Annotations, either Diodati's, the English
(or Westminster--RB) Annotations, or the Dutch (A Christian Directory, p. 732). 1104 pages.

DARLING, JAMES
Cyclopaedia Bibliographica: A
Library Manual of Theological and General Literature, and Guide to Books for
Authors, Preachers, Students and Literary Men. Analytical, Bibliographical, and
Biographical (1854)
An indispensable set for authors, researchers, serious students of Scripture, librarians, ministers, collectors, rare book dealers, etc. Contains much information that is either unavailable elsewhere or would have to be gleaned from several scattered volumes. Its ten volumes total 5245 pages. A phenomenal, theological, bibliographical resource of staggering comprehensiveness. The first section of this extremely rare set is a huge bibliography, organized by authors alphabetically. Most known Biblical and theological publications, to the author's day, are listed. Includes not only English listings, but Latin, French and German also. The second part is a topical bibliography categorizing items under the headings of Universal Knowledge, Theology (including the major commentaries, sermons, articles and studies for just about every verse in the Bible), a listing of Scripture texts (Hebrew, Greek and Latin) and an extensive index. The Morning Post calls this massive work "the most copious, accurate, and well-arranged catalogue of works in theological and general literature which has as yet been published." Brownson's Review noted that "for practical utility we know of none that surpasses or approaches it." Finally Bell's Messenger states, "No clergyman or anti
