It is the most amazing collection of works I

In

The

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

* 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!
I
pray that the Lord will allow you to get these materials into the hands of as

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.

I
cannot imagine any other single thing being done by any man or group of men in

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."

PURITAN DIVINES
Puritan Sermons Before the English House of Commons (1640-1641)
This is
a collection of Puritan sermons preached to "the Honourable House of
Commons... Assembled in Parliament" in London at various times during the
years 1640 and 1641. This volume includes: "The First Sermon, Preached to
the Honourable House... at their Public Fast" by Cornelius Burgess (Nov. 17, 1640); "Sions Joy" by Jeremiah
Burroughs (Sept. 7, 1641); "A
Peace-Offering to God" by Stephen Marshall (Sept. 7, 1641); "The Love of Truth and
Peace" by John Gauden (Nov.
29, 1640); and two other sterling examples of nation-directing second
Reformation sermons. Burgess, in the
final sermon, exposes the Popish and Jesuitical traitors in the land, while
also demonstrating how their treason was the outgrowth of their false and
wicked religion, as well as their hatred for God and the truths of the
Reformation. These sermons to the civil authorities
were an encouragement to further Reformation and played their part in rousing
the civil ministers to their calling. They
also assisted in laying some of the necessary groundwork which eventually led
the parliament to call the Westminster Assembly. Furthermore, they helped to stir these governors to their duty
of covenanting the land to Christ,
which was later accomplished in the international swearing of the Solemn
League and Covenant. Over 350 pages.

SMITH, THOMAS
Select Memoirs of the Lives, Labours, and Sufferings, of Those
Pious and Learned English and Scottish Divines, Who Greatly Distinguished
Themselves in Promoting the Reformation from Popery; In Translating the Bible;
and in Promulgating Its Salutary Doctrines by Their Numerous Evangelical
Writings; and Who Ultimately Crowned the Venerable Edifice with the Celebrated
Westminster Confession of Faith, etc. etc. etc. (1828)
"The
Work with the lives of those renowned English Worthies, who introduced and
effected the glorious Reformation from popery, and concludes with those, who, unsatisfied with the splendid ceremonial and Romish
peculiarities of the church of England, could not conscientiously conform to
her superstitious ritual, and were therefore
denominated Non-conformists or Puritans. The Reformation of the
church of Christ was the sole object of both, their opinions were the same, and
it will be difficult to determine who suffered most, or acted the better part.
The same reasons that induced the former to labour for the Reformation from
Popery induced the latter to exert themselves for the Reformation of the church
of England. Their labours, their influence, and their zeal, were devoted to
this desirable work, and notwithstanding that they endeavoured, by the most
peaceable means, to purge the church, of which they
were members, from all its antchristian impurities, they were branded with the
name puritans, and many of them, for their non-conformity,
suffered suspension, imprisonment, and persecution even unto death. The Work will therefore furnish the reader with a
circumstantial account of the arduous conflict of religious liberty, from the
days of John Wickliffe. Here he will find some of the merciless proceedings of
the court of High Commission and the Star-Chamber, two terrible engine's of
cruelty and injustice, whose unparalleled oppressions, and unprecedented
barbarities, in place of reconciling men to the unity of the established
religion, drove them farther and farther off, confirmed them in their
non-conformity, alienated their minds from the prelatical priesthood, and
greatly increased their own number and reputation. In a Work of this nature, it
appeared necessary to give the reader some account of the errors,
encroachments, and corruptions of the Romish church, that led to the long and
arduous struggle before us. This he will find in the Historical Sketch of the
Christian Church (From the Ascension of Christ – RB), with which the
Memoirs are introduced." (Preface, pp. vii-viii).
Also included is a "Short Introduction to the Lives of the Puritans."
This is a major historical work, both for scope and accuracy. It covers the lives of 132 principal Reformers; among them:
Ames, Baille, Baxter, Bolton, Bradford, the Burgess' (both Anthony and
Cornelius), Case, Cawdrey, Coverdale, Cotton, Fox, Gillespie, Goodman, Goodwin,
Henderson, Hooker, Hooper, Janeway, Latimer, Lightfoot, Ridley, Rogers,
Rutherford, Sibbs, Tyndale, Vines, and a host of others. For the
book-lover, researcher and student (of the historical and doctrinal struggle
for Reformation), a convenient and helpful list
of books by each author covered is appended to the end of each memoir.

COVENANTED MINISTERS OF SCOTLAND
Sermons in Times of Persecution in Scotland (1880 edition)
This
book (of 674 pages) records some of the most
powerful sermons ever put into print, most being delivered during the
"killing times" in Scotland. These
faithful preachers were daily in danger of losing their earthly lives for their
testimony to the truth of Christ's kingship (which they proclaim here) –
and many were eventually martyred for His covenanted cause. The original
title of this book, instructive in itself, read (in part), "A Collection
of Lectures and Sermons Preached upon Several Subjects, Mostly in the Time of
the Late Persecution. Wherein a Faithful Doctrinal Testimony is Transmitted to
Posterity for the Doctrine, Worship, Discipline and Government of the Church of
Scotland against Popery, Prelacy, Erastianism, etc.... and a Sermon on the
Breach of Covenant by Mr. John Guthrie." Each
set of sermons in this book is prefaced with a helpful three to six page
biographical notice. The following ministers are included (with the
number of their sermons in this book noted in parentheses after their name): William
Guthrie (17); Michael Bruce (3); John Weldwood (4); Richard Cameron (7 sermons and 1 lecture); Donald Cargill (7 sermons and 3 lectures); Alexander Peden (2); Alexander Shields (2 sermons and 1 lecture); John Livingstone (1 sermon and 1 sacramental discourse); John Welch (1 sermon and 1 sacramental discourse); John
Guthrie (1). Includes illustrations
and the original preface (written March 19, 1779) by John Howie (author of The Scots Worthies). An instructive and
useful commemorative sermon, "A Third Reformation Necessary: or, The
Piety, Principles, and Patriotism of Scotland's Covenanted Martyrs; With
Application to the Present Times," by Kerr, preached on the bi-cententary
of the covenanting struggle, is also included.

PIERCE, JAMES
A Vindication of the Dissenters (1718, second edition, corrected)
Written
"In Answer to Dr. William Nichols's Defence of the Doctrine and Discipline
of the Church of England," this work was first written in Latin and then
translated into English. It is a massive (605 pages)
and detailed history and doctrinal defense of the Dissenters and "An
Appeal to Foreign Divines, Professors, and all other Learned Men of the
Reformed Religion." Part one covers
the history and controversies surrounding nonconformity, drawing from sources
ancient to the author's day (in 288 pages).
Part two is titled "Concerning the Doctrine of the Church of England."
It deals with separation, backsliding into Popish ways, civil resistance, the
power of the magistrate and numerous other topics of importance to Reformed
Christians. Part 3, "Concerning
Discipline, and Modes of Worship," systematically exposes numerous specific
errors of the Prelates (in worship and government), while defending the
testimony of the Dissenters. Chapters in this section include, "Of
the Government of Bishops," "Of Singing and Music in Churches,"
"Of the Public Liturgy," "Of the Sign of the Cross in
Baptism," "Of Godfathers and Godmothers," "Of
Confirmation," "Of the Surplice, and other Ecclesiastical
Habits," "Of the Ring in Marriage," "Of Kneeling at the
Sacraments," "Of the Observation of Holidays," "Of Bowing
in the Name of Jesus," "Of Reading Apocryphal books in the
Church," Of the Faults found with the English Liturgy," and much
more. This last section is particularly revealing,
as it exposes how far many, in our day, that claim to be Reformed (like Steve
Schlissel), have actually backslidden into the rejected ways of Popery and
Prelacy – casting off some of the greatest attainments of the Reformation
(notably the second Reformation) in the process. This is especially evident in the modern
"Reformed" rejection of the regulative principle of worship and the
subsequent (ignorant) embracing of many worship practises which our worthy
Reformed forefathers rightly abominated (as idolatry), confessed outside the
church, and sometimes even gave their lives fighting against. This
book might be called a miniature encyclopaedia of dissent. It should not be
overlooked by those interested in the great Puritan revolution which Pierce
here defends -- a revolution which is once again being revived (by the power of
Almighty God) in our day and is destined to one day cover the whole earth!

WESTMINSTER DIVINES & OTHER PURITANS (Gouge, Gataker, et al.)
The Westminster Annotations and Commentary on the Whole
Bible
(6 volumes,
1657)
The original title read: "Annotations Upon all the Books of the Old and New Testament: This Third, above the First and Second, Edition so enlarged, As they make an entire Commentary on the Sacred Scriptures: The like never before published in English. Wherein the Text is Explained, Doubts Resolved, Scripture Parallel'd, and Various Readings observed; By the Labour of certain Learned Divines thereunto appointed, and therein employed, As is expressed in the Preface." The preface (found in the first volume) recounts not only a short history of the English Bible, but sets forth the great advantage to true Religion which accrues (contrary to the mysticism of the Anabaptists and the anti-intellectualism of the modern backsliding church) when faithful notes are "bound in" with the Scripture text – this bringing forth nothing different than the effect generated (through God's grace) by faithful preaching, faithful commentaries, faithful creeds, faithful covenants, faithful confessions, etc. Pointing out that this blessing from God was never more obvious than in the case of the Geneva Bible ($159.95, leather hardcover) and its marginal notes
