"I
have been systematically working through reading the Puritan and Reformed CDs I
purchased.
I must say, there is nothing like them

It is the most amazing collection of works I
know of in one package to date.
In
my opinion, it far surpasses Ages Software and their collections.*
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)."

* It is SWRB's
opinion that Ages has done an excellent job in making various Reformed works
available on CD, so much so that we also distribute a number of their CDs at
discounts. Thus, please don't make more out of our publishing this comment than
is warranted, as this is a comment we received from one of our customers and it
expresses his opinion. As for Ages' work, we rejoice whenever the truth is
published, whether through others or through SWRB (as we play only a very small
part in the revival of classic Reformation, Puritan and Covenanter thought that
is now taking place worldwide through God's marvelous grace). The publication
of the best Reformers and Puritans of the past is one of the greatest needs of
our time, as this extends the blessings that come through faithful preachers
and authors into our day and into the future. Lord willing, the growth in the
publishing of faithful works from the past will help stem the tide of the great
declension and unfaithfulness which we are now witnessing all around us, even
(sadly) among many churches that still call themselves "Presbyterian"
and/or "Reformed." So please pray together with us that our Lord will
multiple the number of faithful publishers and publications, and that He will
give many the heart to stand for the truth no matter the consequences (as He
has done for our faithful forefathers, who resisted Satan and sin unto blood
and even to martyrdom in many cases). -- RB.
"SWRB's
Puritan and Reformation CD libraries are an invaluable source for the study of the
history and theology of classic Reformation theology. The collection is
remarkable not only for depth of content, but also for the rarity of many of
the works. Most seminary libraries will not have even a percentage of the works
available on these CD-ROMs. I cannot imagine anyone working in Reformation /
historical theology that would not want to use the Puritan and Reformed
libraries!"

"I
just received your CD collection. One bit of advice: you should instruct your
customers to take about 1 week off just to peruse the tables of contents for
these CD's, followed by another week off, in order to recover from the
state of shock in which they will find themselves.
In
all seriousness, this collection is almost impossible to describe. It has to be
seen to be believed. As a pastor, my library has just increased
dramatically.
As a Ph.D. student in Puritan and Post-Reformation studies, I have immediate
access to many of the same works for which I would normally need to access
through rare book rooms of theological libraries.
Thank
you for this labor of love. Thank you for making it accessible, both
financially and technologically. May the Lord richly bless you for this service
to his people."

"You
all are doing a wonderful service by making all these materials so readily
available. Having them on my hard drive is BETTER than having access to a
rare book library with all of them in hand... I have found the CD set
invaluable as a tool of scholarship. So once again I commend you brothers for making
it available."

"It's
been several weeks now since I received the CDs and have had some time to
digest some of them. All I can say is, "WOW!" This is truly a
library like no other, and has already paid great dividends not only in my own
personal worship and study, but in my teaching as well. I first balked at the
price, but after seeing the vastness of the material, I almost feel as though
I'm robbing you!

pray that the Lord will allow you to get these materials into the hands of as many

Full
SWRB CD comment from Dr. Moore:
This
collection of 62 CDs is a truly astounding accomplishment. There is nothing
like this available to the ordinary Christian on the whole face of the earth.
Now,
for the first time ever, ordinary Christians can have direct and near
effortless access to the very cream of Puritan and Reformed, as well as
Covenanter, literature.
These
books are often in fascinating first editions and many are electronically
linked and indexed for the first time. The ordinary Christian may here dig
into a simply staggering wealth of literature, from devotional and sermonic
material to technical and scholarly works. Even in the days of the Long Reformation
itself ordinary Christians didn't get to see this kind of library -- most
couldn't read for a start, and even those who could, would never have been able
to afford to buy even a hundredth part of the material on these CDs. Truly we
are without excuse!
And
the significance of this collection goes even beyond that. No longer do we have
to wait for modern Reformed publishing houses to predict that a particular
Reformation or Puritan book will be sufficiently popular to make it economical
to reprint, or to deem it "safe" enough to be let loose on the modern
evangelical church. Rather, we are now able to see for ourselves the whole
range of the Puritan and Reformed publishing enterprise, including views that
are usually suppressed by most modern devotees of "Puritan" piety!
Buy
these CDs while you can, and find out for yourself what the First and Second
Reformations were really all about! You'll be truly amazed, and, by God's
grace, will grow from being an ordinary Christian to being an extraordinary
one. What they used to say of the Puritan John Flavel's preaching, can be
said of these CDs: they are "hissing hot"!

"This
side of eternity I'll never be able to repay the favor you have done mankind by
bringing these... CDs together.
The
first week of reading I grew more as a Christian reading those rich, pure
Gospel Commentators than I have in 18 years of Christian life. After reading some of
the Puritan CDs I have to get the Reformation set if it kills me. A fire is
burning within me. These... CDs are liable to start a revival fire unseen in
any generation... the Gospel in its pure form is seen in these... CDs.
Sir,
I cant say enough. What a treasure! I'll never be able to repay you this side
of heaven, but when we get there I am sure you will see the rich fruits of your
labor. God bless you for not being money hungry but wanting to see Christians
grow in the Lord... I love you even though we have never met, you have
helped me in my Christian walk tremendously with these... CDs.
I
am not bragging on the flesh, I am just giving honor where honor is due. The
Holy Ghost will take these CDs and light a fire unseen and unheard of. God
bless you all at Still Waters."

you so very much for the CDs.

this CD work is.
God
be praised that he uses sickly and weak men to forward his kingdom, that the
work may not be mistaken to be wrought by the might of men, but by his Spirit.
His strength is perfected in weakness."

JAMES, JOHN ANGELL
The Christian Father's Present to His Children
"This is a wonderful book by an early 19th century preacher in England
encouraging fathers as they lead in their homes. Most of his writings had to do
with the pastoral ministry; but this book is for fathers. The main tenet of the
book is that the best gift fathers can give to their children is a godly
upbringing in the fear and admonition of the Lord, firm but loving discipline
to restrain evil in them, and to build a moral conscience into their children,
so that even if God does not save them, their punishment will be less. 416

"This is another in a series of books
on the family by John Angell James focusing on raising a godly daughter. He
deals with early piety, the elevation of women by the gospel, the importance of
personal religion, and how to be a good wife and mother. This is a book every
parent should read to their daughters. Here is a book that girls should read to
know what to become, and boys should read to know what to look for! This book
continues to be our best-selling family title, and is retypeset and edited for
easier readability. There is a foreword by Mrs. Edna Gerstner. 334 pages."

from sermons preached on Ephesians. James emphasizes that the chief end of
every Christian parent must be the spiritual interests, religious character,
and eternal salvation of their children. Here is just one quote from the book
that will give an idea of its content and depth: "The secret of happiness
lies folded up in the leaves of the Bible, and is carried in the bosom of
religion. 300 pages." (SDG).

Nazianzeni Querela Et Votum Justum: The Fundamentals of the Hierarchy
examin'd and disprov'd (1697)
Walker includes this among the "principal works" and best defences of
Presbyterian church government, against Episcopalian attacks. Speaking of this
book, among other foremost Presbyterian works of this period, he notes that
they were all "learned and able books, all of them debating the point both
on grounds of Scripture and ecclesiastical antiquity." Furthermore, he
continues, writing, "Those of Jamieson claim a special notice. Their
author was blind; so far as appears, he was born blind. Yet he was a thorough
scholar (no excuse here for those of us who can see--RB), and in particular was well acquainted
both with the Latin and Greek Fathers. His works are... as a whole... among the
best of their class, and contain an effective defence of Presbyterian Church
government." Johnston calls Jameson "one of the acutest and most
learned defenders of the Presbyterian system" (Treasury of the Scottish
Covenant, p. 383). This is one of the most devastating scholarly
replies to the antichristian hierarchy of Episcopalianism (and Romanism too!)
ever produced. Thoroughly scriptural, it also contains a treasure chest of
quotations from the early church fathers (right up through to the recent
[1600's] Reformers of Jameson's day); though Jameson readily proclaims,
"Let the Sword of God (They're Jerome's words in primum Haggaei) cut off every thing that men, without the Authority
of Testimony of the Scriptures, have devised and pretend as if they had it by
Apostolic Tradition. Let all such things be broken in Pieces called Nehustan,
and, finally, sacrificed to Truth and Peace." Exceedingly rare, 240 pages.

JESUITS
The Secret Instructions
of the Jesuits
(1824 edition, Latin & English texts included)
A shocking little book that
exposes the black Pope (the Jesuit General) and his murdermen, as the following sample quotation from this book
exhibits,
I furthermore
promise and declare that I will, when opportunity present, make and wage
relentless war, secretly or openly, against all heretics, Protestants and
Liberals, as I am directed to do, to extirpate and
exterminate them from the face of the whole earth; and that I will spare
neither age, sex or condition; and that I will hang, waste, boil, flay, strangle
and bury alive these infamous heretics, rip up the stomachs and wombs of their
women and crush their infants' heads against the walls, in order to annihilate
forever their execrable race. That when the same cannot be done
openly, I will secretly use the poisoned cup, the strangulating cord, the steel
of the poniard or the leaden bullet, regardless of the honor, rank, dignity, or
authority of the person or persons, whatever may be their condition in life,
either public or private, as I at any time may be
directed so to do by any agent of the Pope or Superior of the Brotherhood of
the Holy Faith, of the Society of Jesus (from the JESUIT OATH).
The principal
distinction seems to be, that the Jesuits are a select body of men singled out
and associated for the purpose of carrying into constant and vigorous operation
all those encroaching and dangerous principles
which the heads and leaders of Popery have always supported, but which they
cannot safely call upon the great body of their adherents publicly to profess
and make the rule of their conduct...
We next observe,
that the operation of interest, one of the most powerful motives, is seconded
by another very peculiar incitement, that of religious intolerance. All Protestants being declared objects of abhorrence --
whose destruction is certain, except they are reclaimed by the Catholic Church,
and whose extermination is a most sacred duty, whenever and wherever, it can be
safely attempted (Preface).
First "printed in England in the year 1658,
with a statement, which has never been met by the lease attempt at
refutation,--that it was discovered among the Archives of the Jesuit's College
at Paderborn in Westphalia, when Christian, Duke of Brunswick, took possession
of that place, and gave their library to the Capuchins. Dr. Compton, the acute
and learned Bishop of London... published an English translation in 1669. In
Germany, also, in France, and in Holland, as well as in England, have
successive editions appeared..." (Preface).
This edition includes the Latin and English
texts side by side. Its 17 chapters include, "How to induce rich widows to
be liberal to the Society," "How to pick out young men and to retain
them," "How to feign a contempt of riches" and 14 more. Also
included are 12 appendices. 132 pages.

Register of whom all the world had heard. Redactor of the Covenanters' protests
in 1637 and onwards; redactor perhaps of the Covenant itself; canny lynx-eyed
Lawyer, and austere Presbyterian Zealot; full of fire, of heavy energy and
gloom: in fact a very notable character."
The introduction further notes that Johnston was
"in some respects, one of the most
interesting of the leading Scotsmen who lived in those troubled times which
began with the Service Book riot, the swearing and subscription of the National
Covenant, and the abjuration of Episcopacy in 1637-38, and ended with the
overthrow of the Protectorate and the Restoration of the Monarchy in
1660..."
Calling Johnston the "Covenanter politician," the Dictionary of
Scottish Church History and Theology
(Cameron, ed.) states,
"From the start of the revolt against Charles
I in 1637 he was at its centre, frequently acting as secretary to the rebel
leaders and drafting their declarations. He and Alexander Henderson were joint
authors of the National Covenant, and he frequently took part in negotiations
with the King and the English Parliament in the years that followed. In 1638 he
was appointed clerk to the General Assembly and procurator of the Church, and
in 1641, he was knighted and appointed a Lord of Session. In 1643 he became one
of Scotland's representatives at the Westminster Assembly, and in 1646 King's
Advocate. He had from the start been identified with the most radical of the
Covenanters, and in 1648 he helped inspire opposition to the Engagement. A
leading figure in the Kirk Party regime of 1648-50, becoming Clerk Register in
1649, he was in the fore in demanding thorough purging and punishing of the
ungodly in both Church and state. During the Cromwellian invasion of 1650-1 he
supported the Western Remonstrance and the Protesters in virtually disowning
the cause of Charles II. He refused to serve the regime of Oliver Cromwell at
first, partly through opposition of the religious toleration it imposed (though
he later backslid into accepting major positions under Cromwell's
dictatorship--RB)... After the Restoration he was denounced as a traitor for
having served Cromwell, and fled into hiding abroad. He was discovered in
France, brought back to Edinburgh and executed... being generally hated and
despised. Yet through his remarkable diaries one can gain much
understanding" (pp. 446-47).
J.C. Johnston's Treasury of the Scottish Covenant (pp. 404-405) provides us with more insight into
this fascinating saint (and these unparalleled times) in the following two
quotations.
"For the lay elders there was the redoubted
Johnston of Warriston, the most able and zealous of a group of lay statesmen
who were as thorough warriors in the ecclesiastical department of the great
struggle as the clergy themselves... He looked at the Covenant as the setting
of Christ on His throne, and so was out of measure zealous in it. He
afterwards, in old age and physical weakness, sealed it with his blood, his
last words being 'The Lord has graciously comforted me; O pray, pray; praise,
praise'" (Burton).
"Warriston was a religious statesman. The
standard of his policy was the Word of God; his great and governing aim, the
Divine glory. And on this account his name has suffered obloquy from a quarter
where all who would follow his steps may expect similar treatment, so long as
society is composed, as it still is to such an alarming extent, of the godless
and unbelieving" (Dr. M'Crie).
The Treasury also notes that
"it is to Johnston that the world generally
has attributed the project of renewing the Covenant (of 1638--RB). This was his
master-stroke of policy."
It further informs us that "on one occasion he continued in prayer
during fourteen hours."
For a glimpse into the heart of the most thorough national (and
international) Reformation thus far in history you will not get closer to the
source than Johnston's rare three volume Diary! From the inner workings of the
battle for the National covenant to Johnston's notes covering Cromwell, Owen's
views on toleration, the Protester/Resolutioner controversy and much more, this
is an exceedingly valuable historical resource.
As the introduction so aptly puts it, "the great Covenanter's Diary...
contained many valuable passages with relation to the history of these times,
nowhere else to be found."
Almost 1300 pages in total and indexed.

JOHNSTON, JOHN C.
Treasury of the Scottish Covenant (1887)
A massive listing (over 671 pages) covering Covenanting literature from the period of the
Reformation to its publication in 1887. Contains not only the principal literary productions of the Covenanters (in
the course of the long-sustained and heroic resistance offered by them to the
spiritual despotism thrust against them in both church and state), but all of the chief historical documents connected
with this period of history. Inspiration and courage can be drawn
from the memories and associations of these events and writings. Here is one
example of what you will find (from page 349 in the book),
(Richard)
Camerons' head and hands, cut from his body at Airsmoss, were taken to his
father, then suffering in prison in Edinburgh for the Covenant. He was asked if
he knew them. 'His words,' says Dr. Kerr, 'were surely the most touching of all
the memories of that cruel time: 'I know, I know them! they are my son's, my
dear son's! It is the Lord: good is the will of the Lord, who cannot wrong me
nor mine, but has made goodness and mercy to follow us all our days.' After
which, by order of the Council, his head was fixed upon the Netherbow Port, and
his hands beside it, with the fingers upward -- a kind of preaching 'at the
entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors,'that told more for his cause
and against the persecutors than all the words he could have spoken.
A must for every serious
theological student, religious library, or rare book collector who has any
interest in Reformation thought and/or literature. It
is a veritable gold mine of information, facts, documents, book listings and
more!
