The Divine Right of
Presbyterianism Versus the Sin of the Independent Church Government (and John

Super Sale
********
Apostolic "Divine
Right" Presbyterianism in Acts 16:4
"And as they went through the cities, they
delivered them the decrees for to keep,
that were ordained of the apostles and elders which were at Jerusalem. And so
were the churches established in the faith, and increased in number daily"
(Acts 16:4-5, emphasis added).
Scriptural
uniformity can easily be seen in the "apostolic" Presbyterian general
assembly at Jerusalem (cf. Acts 15). In fact, this general assembly
"delivered decrees" that were
binding on all the individual churches that were part of the one visible church
which adhered to apostolic doctrine. The Greek word used in Acts 16:4 for "decrees"
is "dogmata." Compare this with the word "decree" used in Luke 2:1. This same
word as used in Luke 2:1 is referring to the decree of Caesar Augustus
regarding his call for an empire wide census. This was not a suggestion given
by Caesar, nor was it just advice that could be ignored without penalty -- it
was law!
In the same way the decree sent down by the general assembly that took place in
Acts 15 was to be held as law for the church. Furthermore, these pronouncements
(because in keeping with the mind of the Spirit) held sway over all the
churches. These decrees were carried out from Jerusalem to the churches in the
cities of Asia Minor, as well as Antioch, indicating that the scope of the
synod's authority extended not only over the church at Antioch which made the
initial request, but over ALL THE CHURCHES! (Adapted from "Presbyterianism
and Independency" in British Reformed Journal, No. 11, July-Aug.
1995).
It is also
interesting to note the comments found in this same Journal comparing the Presbyterian's Westminster Confession
(1647) with the Independent's Savoy Declaration (1658). The
British Reformed Journal points out:
A
perusal of the twin columns on the page opposite will yield a direct contrast,
highlighted at apposite critical points by the words in heavy type. One sees Westminster's decree (31:3), which corresponds to the Greek dogmata of the Textus
Receptus in Acts 16:4,
juxtaposed with advice given in the Savoy
article XXVI, which latter corresponds with
nothing anywhere in the Textus Receptus with respect to the
matters of Synodical Church Government (p. 17).
Later this Journal asks,
Does
this Scriptural Synod issue decrees or advice? Scripture says
decree, Westminster says decree, Savoy says
advice. Which Confessional standard is therefore
Scriptural?

"Blackwell
tells...he had this account of Owen at his death from persons who were with him

way to God....
"Redpath

antiquity, he was now satisfied that
Presbytery was the way Christ had appointed in His New Testament Church."

(a $US3.98 value) with your order!
In this sermon Greg Price proves why Presbyterianism is the only form of
church government that is instituted of God in Scripture. He then takes this truth and
demonstrates the practical outworking, as seen in the blessings or curses of
God, upon those who either obey or stumble at this teaching. This sermon also
instructs believers in the marks of the true church and warns against joining
with those corrupted bodies which are not biblically constituted. Some of the
same truths are applied to nations (and civil "ministers"). Price
notes that unlawful, covenant-breaking, Christ-rejecting, nations presently
include Canada and the USA. He also blasts Arminianism, schism (showing how we
must sometimes separate to avoid
schism) and idolatry! The old Reformation fires
burn hot here!

FRANCIS NIGEL
John Owen Represbyterianized
This
book chronicles John Owen's thought as he matured and ultimately re-embraced the
Presbyterianism of his youth. However, it is also much more -- being a fine introduction to biblical Presbyterianism!
In a
fascinating manner John Owen
Represbyterianized begins tracing Presbyterianism from the Heavenly Session in the Trinity. It continues
by moving from the Presbyterianism of the
antediluvian Patriarchs to a survey of Presbyterian church government as it is
revealed throughout the Old Testament. It then demonstrates how
the "Older Testament Presbyterianism continues as Christian Presbyterianism"
in the New Testament (all the while providing an excellent historical overview
and summary of Presbyterianism as it is found throughout the complete inspired
record of Scripture).
Dr.
Lee also provides many exegetical proofs for Presbyterianism while furnishing
numerous insights into how the original languages of the Bible set forth the
Presbyterian system of church government.
This
is all accomplished in an easy-reading format which even a young Christian
should be able to understand -- while, at the same time, offering profound
divine truths that will be much appreciated by those more skilled and mature in
the use of their biblical swords.
Dr.
Lee writes,
The purpose of this essay is to demonstrate that Britain's great
Puritan Theologian... John Owen, was essentially not a Congregationalist but a
Presbyterian. He first pastored a Presbyterian Church. On his deathbed, he
re-affirmed Presbyterianism.
The
depresbyterianized Owen later re-embraced Presbyterianism... Dr. Owen, 1616-83,
was quite the greatest alleged Congregationalist and certainly one of the most
thorough Theologians Britain has ever produced. Educated at Oxford, he first
pastored a Presbyterian Church -- in 1643, the year the Westminster Assembly
itself was convened. After reading a book by the American John Cotton, Owen
inwardly embraced Congregationalism.
In
his next parish, he seceded from Presbyterianism... the system many in the
Puritan Parliament and most at the presbyterianizing Westminster Assembly were
then trying to promote in the wake of The Solemn League and Covenant -- for
Reformation and Defence of Religion; the Honour and Happiness of the King; and
the Peace and Safety of the three Kingdoms of Scotland, England, and Ireland -- taken and subscribed
several times by King Charles and by all ranks in the said three kingdoms.
At
the termination of the Monarchy and the establishment of the Commonwealth in
1649, Cromwell the Congregationalist appointed Owen Vice-Chancellor at Oxford.
He became the chief architect of the Cromwellian State Church, and helped
compose the congregationalistic Savoy Declaration of Faith in 1658 (intended to
replace the presbyterial Westminster Confession of Faith and its chapter
31:1-5). Subsequent to the termination of the Commonwealth and the Restoration
of the Monarchy in 1660, Owen was ejected from Oxford.
After
congregationalistically pastoring a 'gathered church' in his own home and
elsewhere for the next two decades -- at the end of
his life he certainly moved back toward and seems actually to have re-embraced
Presbyterianism. How could it be otherwise -- with Owen constantly
improving his own infant baptism, in the Name of the Triune God (Who is Himself
a Presbytery)? See Westminster Larger Catechism, Q. & A. 167! Thus
the proto-Presbyterian... John Owen -- after a lapse into Congregationalism --
thereafter increasingly re-presbyterianized...
The
Final Represbyterianization of... John Owen
Presbyterian
Baxter was so impressed by words like these in Owen's Catechism, that he wrote to
him... proposing union between the Congregationalists and the Presbyterians. To
that, Dr. Owen himself replied (I:cix-cxxi)...
"I
judge your proposals worthy of great consideration.... I see no reason why all
the true disciples of Christ might not, upon these and the like principles,
condescend in love unto the practical concord and agreement -- which not one of
them dare deny to be their duty to aim at."
Owen himself (Works XVI:2) told several men that he could readily
join with Presbytery the way it was exercised in Scotland. Moreover, historian
Wodrow in his own [1716] Analecta (1842 ed. 2:263 & 2:309) records:
"Blackwell
tells...he had this account of Owen at his death from persons who were with
him... that he expressed himself very much in favour of Presbyterian
Government, and said he was persuaded that Presbytery was the way to God....
"Redpath
told me...he visited Dr. Owen on his deathbed, and Presbytery and Episcopacy
came to be discoursed of.... The Doctor said how he
had seen his mistake as to the Independent way, and declared to him a day or
two before his death that after his utmost search into the Scriptures and
antiquity, he was now satisfied that Presbytery was the way Christ had
appointed in His New Testament Church."
Owen
died in 1683. One of his most important tracts, The True Nature of a Gospel
Church and its Government, was published posthumously six years later in 1689.
Rightly, the later congregationalistic editor W.H. Goold admitted in his own 'Prefatory
Note' thereto (VXI:2) that because "of some statements in the following
treatise...it has been gravely argued that the author returned to the
Presbyterianism of his early days before he died." Those statements are
found especially in Owen's chapter on 'the Communion of Churches.'
Let
us summarize Owen's final conclusions in his own words. In his essay Duty of
Pastors and People Distinguished (XIII:39), he wrote:
"The
principles and rules of that church government from which...I desire not to wander,
are...called presbyterial or synodical -- in opposition to prelatical or
diocesan on the one side, and that which is commonly called independent or
congregational on the other."
And another
little taste of Dr. Lee's findings,
...the
above-mentioned text Acts 15:2-6 records the beginning of the deliberations of
the General Assembly in Jerusalem, in answer to its receipt of the reference
from the Presbytery of Antioch. This is to be found just prior to its
formulation of binding decrees to be kept by "the Churches" in all of
"the cities" of Antioch and Cilicia and Syria where Congregations had
been established. Acts 13:1f; 14:23-27; 15:1-41; 16:4-5.
Owen
states (XV:530) "it follows that in case any Church [singular]...do give
offence unto other Churches [plural], those other Churches may require an
account from them; admonish them of their faults; and withhold communion from
them in case they persist in the error of their way.... Hence also it follows
that those that are rightly and justly censured ... in any Church [singular]...
ought to be rejected by all Churches [plural] whatever...because of their
mutual communion.... In case there had been any difficulty or doubt in the
procedure of the Church [singular], they would have taken the advice of these
Churches [plural] with whom they were obliged to consult."
Don't miss this
one, it will save you hours of study and research
while also providing many valuable insights (on church government) that would
be otherwise unavailable to those who do not read the original biblical
languages. Furthermore, the story of John Owen's return to
Presbyterianism is extremely interesting and very well documented and easily
worth the price of this book alone!

WESTMINSTER ASSEMBLY
The Reasons Presented by the
Dissenting Brethren Against Certain Propositions Concerning Presbyterial
Government. And the Proofs of them Voted by the Assembly of Divines, sitting by
authority of Parliament, at Westminster. Together With the Answer of the
Assembly of Divines to those Reasons of Dissent (1648)
It is
interesting to note, as Hetherington points out in his History of the
Westminster Assembly of Divines (p. 220), that,
(i)n their answer, the Assembly Divines seem almost to have been
ashamed to analyze and expose the weak sophistry of the Dissenting Brethren's
argument... but by availing themselves of the concessions made by the
Independents in the course of their own illustrations, they completely
overthrow the whole Congregational theory.
Regarding the book
itself Hetherington writes,
These
reasons of Dissent, and the Answers by the Assembly, occupied the attention of
that venerable body during the conclusion of the year 1644, and the early part
of the year 1645; and when fully completed, both the reasons and the answers
were submitted to the consideration of the Parliament for a considerable time,
and when the discussions of the Assembly had terminated, an order was issued by
the House of Lords, on the 24th of January 1648 (or 1647, according to their style),
that these reasons and answers should be printed from the papers in the hands
of Adoniram Byfield, one of the Assembly's scribes, after having been inspected
by Messrs Goodwin and Whittaker, to secure their genuineness and authenticity;
and they were published in the same year... In the year 1652, the same
publication received a new title-page, and was called The
Grand Debate concerning Presbytery and Independency, by the Assembly of Divines
convened at Westminster by authority of Parliament (History
of the Westminster Assembly of Divines, pp. 221-222).
In
short, this is a definitive answer to the best the Independents had to offer! This photocopy is taken
from what had previously been Samuel Miller's personal copy of this title. 314

Sketches of the Covenanters (1913)
Stirring accounts of sacrifice
and martyrdom for the Reformed Faith (and the divine right of Presbyterianism)
that will bring tears to eyes of all but the most backslidden. Follows the chain of
events which gave Scotland two Reformations and a Revolution. John Knox, the National Covenant, The Solemn League and
Covenant, the Westminster Assembly, the Field Meetings (conventicles) and the
"Killing Times," and much more are all covered. The history of many great battles for Christ
and His royal rights (in church and state) are accurately recounted in this
moving chronicle of Reformation struggles and martyrdom. These accounts of men, women and children who were
willing to die for the truth of divine right Presbyterianism (i.e. Christ's
Kingship in and over the church) are as amazing and edifying as any you will
ever read!
This book also sheds much light upon the warfare
of Christ's bride (with the dragon) for true Scriptural liberty, while telling
the moving story of some of the most prominent and/or faithful Christians
(Rutherford, Renwick, Cameron, Cargill, "the Society People," et
al.)
since the days of the Apostles. This is one of our
best history books, and is highly recommended! It is great for home schooling, history classes and
various other learning situations, as it contains convenient review questions
at the end of each chapter. Furthermore, it is written in an easy-to-read and engaging style,
which makes it one of the best introductions to the Covenanters and the periods
of the first and second Reformations in the British Isles that is available.

RUTHERFORD, SAMUEL
A Survey of the Survey of
that Summe of Church-Discipline Penned by Mr. Richard Hooker, Late Pastor of
the Church at Hartford upon Connecticut in New England. Wherein The Way of the
Churches in N. England is now re-examined; Arguments in favour thereof
winnowed; The Principles of that Way discussed; and the Reasons of most seeming
strength and nerves removed (1658)
Hooker "helped found Hartford, Connecticut
(1636)... He helped create Connecticut's 'Fundamental Orders' (1638) and was
instrumental in forming the New England Confederation (1643)" (Encyclopedia
of the Reformed Faith). In this book Rutherford refutes Hooker's Independent
views of church government in great detail. In doing so he has left us much to
ponder regarding Presbyterianism, the constitution of the visible church (as it
is revealed in Scripture), covenanting, separation, discipline, Arminianism,
church communion and much more. Hooker's
congregational way is easily accepted by the flesh and is prominently held by a
wide range of professing Christians today -- from liberals all the way to those
who call themselves Reformed. This book
should go a long way to correcting this prevalent
"democratic/egalitarian" heresy. Rutherford
was (and still is through his books) one of the most notable defenders of the
divine right of Presbyterianism since the days of the Apostles.
This rare book has been generally unavailable to the public (as far as we know)
for three centuries now -- until this reprinting -- and should be welcomed by
all lovers of truth. 521 pages.

RUTHERFORD, SAMUEL
The Due Right of Presbyteries
or a Peaceable Plea for the Government of the Church of Scotland... (1644)
Almost 800 pages long, Rutherfurd
here deals with church membership, separation from the visible church, the
civil magistrate and religion, communion among churches, the errors of the
independents (specifically in New England) and much more. This could be considered the Lex Rex of church
government -- another exceedingly rare masterpiece of
Presbyterianism! Characterized by Walker as sweeping "over a wider field
than most. Most essential points which Gillespie has barely touched,
Rutherfurd carefully considers; as, for instance, the nature of the visible
church as such, and its constituent elements. Even in the Erastian controversy
he is a necessary supplement to his great contemporary. It is something to
me altogether amazing, the mass of thinking about Church questions you have in
those writings."
Bannerman, in his Church of Christ calls this a "very learned and elaborate
treatise." Here is a sample of Mr. Rutherford's writing: "A
private subtraction and separation from the Ministry of a known wolf and
seducer,... this the Law of nature will warrant... as Parker saith from
Saravia, 'it is lawful to use that blameless and just defence, if the bad
church-guide cannot be deposed.' So the son may save himself by a just defence
in fleeing from his mad father, or his distracted friend coming to kill him.
Now this defence is not an authoritative act, nor [a] judicial act of
authority, but a natural act that is common to any private person, yea to all
without the true Church as well as within to take that care in extreme
necessity, for the safety of their souls, that they would do for the safety of
their bodies" (1642, cited in The Original Covenanter and Contending
Witness
magazine [www.covenanter.org]).

MINISTERS OF LONDON
The Divine Right of Church
Government (Jus Divinum Regiminis Ecclesiastici), Wherein it is Proved that the
Presbyterian Government, By Preaching and Ruling Elders, in Sessional,
Presbyterial, and Synodical Assemblies, May Lay the Only Lawful Claim to a
Divine Right, According to the Holy Scriptures, c. 1646, 1844 ed.
This
is one of the all time classic defenses of the divine right of Presbyterianism.
It also gives us a clear picture of the original intent of the
English Presbyterians working at the Westminster Assembly (and is therefore
very useful in determining the original intent of the Westminster Confession
itself).
It can be seen here that it was the strong conviction of the majority of
English divines at Westminster that Presbyterianism is the only form of church
government that is instituted by God in His Word.
David Hall,
(the editor of the Naphtali Press edition), states, the book "was not
written as a polemical tract, as if to prop up some moribund tradition; rather
it is an exemplar of gentle and reasoned discourse." Published
anonymously, during the sitting of the Westminster Assembly, because of the
Erastian leaning Parliament's "gag rule," this work is considered by
some as "an even truer record of the
Westminster divines' views of government than the final (politically
suppressed) standards" (Coldwell, Naphtali Press edition).
Moreover, Hall
goes so far as to state that "perhaps no single
work is as illuminating for original intent [of the Westminster Standards] as
this rare work printed contemporaneously with the meeting of the Assembly;"
and that "acquaintance with the political and ecclesiastical events of the
time narrows down the possible authorship of this (book -- RB) to either (the)
Westminster divines themselves, or sympathizers of the Westminster Assembly of
divines (p. xvi).
Hall also notes
that Hetherington (in his masterful History of
the Westminster Assembly, p. 270)
asserts that this book was the Westminster divine's answer to the English
parliament's "nine queries" that were intended "to discourage
their thoroughly Presbyterian views." Hall continues,
In
the first comprehensive Scottish history of the Assembly, William Hetherington
concludes safely: 'Judging from internal evidence, in matter, manner, and
style, it appears most certain that this work at least embodies the substance
of the answer prepared by the Assembly, somewhat enlarged and modified by the
city ministers in whose name it was published.' Although Hetherington (who in a
footnote wished for the reprinting of this very work as 'a very valuable
contribution to the Presbyterian cause in the present day') initially infers
that the work of the Assembly and the London ministers was merged, such that
'so much of the one was transfused into the other as to render then to all
practical intents one work,' at the conclusion of his history he concludes with
more certainty: "The Jus Divinum of the city ministers appears to me to be both
virtually and substantially the Assembly's Answer to the Parliament, containing
actually that very Answer as prepared by them; but with such additional
amplifications in statement and illustrations, by the city ministers
themselves, as might both render it more complete and fit for publication as a
distinct work on the subject, and at the same time entitle them to publish it
on their own responsibility' (Hall, pp. xviii-xix, citing Hetherington, History
of the Westminster Assembly pp. 270, 362).
Furthermore,
"not only do we have confirmation from numerous sources that the 2
December 1646 Jus Divinum reflects the Assembly's original intent, we also
see along with that the undisputable historical notation that the Assembly
considered itself bound by a jus divnum, not merely 'guided' by a nebulous jus
hamanum.
The difference is cataclysmic" (Hall, p. xxii).
In The
Divine Right of the Gospel Ministry these same authors later give us a glimpse of
how different their jus divinum presbyterianism is from much of what
"presbyterians" today believe. "So strongly were they committed
to this thorough-going jus divinum view that they stated the following 'four
things that justly deserve to be abhorred by all good Christians: (1) An
Universal Toleration of all Religions; (2) An Universal Admittance of all men
to the Lord's Supper; (3) Universal Grace, that is, that Christ died equally
for all, and that all men have free-will to be saved; and (4) Universal
Allowance of all that suppose themselves gifted to preach without
Ordination" (Hall, p. xxi).
This photocopy
edition contains the appendix which sets forth,
Extracts
from some of the best authors who have written on church government, concerning
the scriptural qualifications and duties of church members; the sole right of
gospel ministers to preach the gospel; the people's divine right to choose
their own pastors; together with an abstract of the arguments of the great Dr.
Owen (though a professed "Independent" at the time) in favour of the
Divine right of the office of the ruling elder.
This edition
also includes a preface, "The Editor to the Reader," written by the
Cameronian "T.H" (Thomas Henderson) -- an Irish Reformed Presbyterian
who was also the author to the forward of James Douglas' Strictures on
Occasional Hearing.
Henderson recommends this volume as "one of the
best defences of presbytery which he has ever seen."

MINISTERS OF LONDON
The Divine Right of the
Gospel Ministry (Jus Divinum Ministerii Evangelici)1654
As the full title
intimates this book is divided into two major parts. The first part contains,
a
justification of the Gospel ministry in general, the necessity of ordination
thereunto by imposition of hands, the unlawfulness of private men assuming
to themselves either the office or work of the ministry without a lawful call
and ordination,
etc. Part two covers "a justification of the present ministers of England,
both such as were ordained during the prevalency of Episcopacy from the foul aspersion
of antichristianism: and those who have been ordained since its abolition, from
the unjust imputation of novelty: proving that a Bishop and Presbyter are all
one in Scripture; and that ordination by Presbyters is most agreeable to the
Scripture pattern. Together with an appendix, wherein the judgement and
practice of antiquity about the whole matter of Episcopacy, and especially
about the ordination of ministers, is briefly discussed.
Moreover,
The Divine Right of the Gospel Ministry gives us a
further glimpse of how different the old and faithful jus divinum of
presbyterianism (taught by English representatives at the Westminster Assembly)
is from our modern, so-called "presbyterianism."
Hall notes,
"So strongly were they committed to this thorough-going jus divinum view that they stated
the following 'four things that justly deserve to be abhorred by all good
Christians:
(1)
An Universal Toleration of all Religions.
(2)
An Universal Admittance of all men to the Lord's Supper.
(3)
Universal Grace, that is, that Christ died equally for all, and that all men
have free-will to be saved.
(4)
Universal Allowance of all that suppose themselves gifted to preach without
Ordination" (Introduction to the Naphtali edition, p. xxi).
Hall further
states that
these
ministers viewed their commitments to both of these jus divinum aspects (i.e. to the
divine right of Presbyterian church government and the divine right of a
Presbyterian Gospel ministry--RB) as to 'the seamless coat of Christ.'
Throughout this second document, the authors speak in continuity with the
earlier volume with the main error to be corrected, as stated as: 'That there
is no such Office as the Office of the Ministry; or That this Office is quite
lost; or That every man that thinks himself gifted, may intrude into the
Ministerial Office. These opinions we judge destructive to Christian Religion,
and an in-let to Popery and all error, to all disorder and confusion, and at
last to all profaneness and Atheism (Ibid.).
In
short, when the ministry is disparaged (and open to every heretic and
schismatic who calls himself to this sacred task) the truth of Scripture will
be trampled underfoot, the visible church (constitutionally) rent in pieces (by
those denying a biblically covenanted uniformity), and the toleration of every
foul error will become commonplace (sounds like today, doesn't it?).
This is an
English Presbyterian classic written by some of the men who attended the
Westminster Assembly. It is a companion volume to their earlier Divine Right
of Church Government
and should be studied in conjunction with this unsurpassed work. 351 pages.

Twelve major sections are
contained in this book:
1. That there is a Church-Government by Divine
Right.
2. That the Magistrate is not the Fountain of
Church-Government.
3. That the Presbyterial-Government is by Divine
Right.
4. The Inconveniencies of the Congregational
Way.
5. That the Ruling Elder is by Divine Right.
6. That it is the will of Jesus Christ that all
sorts of persons should give an account of their Faith to the Minister and
Elders before admission to the Lord's Supper; together with Answers to the
usual Objections made against it.
7. Directions to the Elders for the right
managing of their Office.
8. Directions to such as are admitted to the
Lord's Supper, for the right sanctifying of God's Name in that Ordinance &
for their carriage one toward another.
9. Rules to preserve People from the Errors of
these Times.
10. That Separation from our Churches is justly
charged with Schism.
11. Than Ministers formerly ordained by Bishops
need no new Ordination.
12. The necessity and usefulness of Catechizing.
This was the second
of three major works published by these famous London divines -- the
title page noting that this book was "Published By the Ministers and
Elders met together in a Provincial Assembly, Novemb. 2d, 1649." The first

According to the Holy Scriptures (c. 1646, 1844 ed., above) the third being The
Divine Right of the Gospel Ministry (Jus Divinum Ministerii Evangelici) (1654, above). Great
insights into the thinking of the English
Covenanters (some who served at the Westminster
Assembly) are to be had here. 156 pages.

BANNERMAN, JAMES
Church of Christ: A Treatise
on the Nature, Powers, Ordinances, Discipline, and Government of the Christian
Church (1869)
Two large
volumes. A classic on the Church and worship! This
is one of the most extensive studies of its kind ever compiled. Nothing
compares to it on this subject. Regarding these gems, Iain
Murray has stated,
In our day, however greatly we need an evangelical revival, we
need more than that. We need another Reformation, a movement which will go 'to
the root of the mischief' and bring back the visible church to the pattern of
God's Word in her government, ordinances and ministry. The republication of
Bannerman is a step in that direction... For those who wish to study the
doctrine of the Church in its several aspects as it was held by the majority of
the Reformers, Puritans, Covenanters and leaders of 'The Third Reformation,' it
will prove an invaluable textbook.
Volume
one
deals with the nature and power of the church, containing a lengthy explanation
of the Church in its relation to the state (which is one of the best treatments
of this topic to be found anywhere!). From there it deals with matters in
regard to which church power is exercised (i.e. in regard to doctrine,
ordinances, the instrumentality and time of public worship -- with a discussion
of holy days, Independency, and confessions). Volume
two continues where volume one left off, providing a lengthy section
on the sacraments, covering the parties in whom the right to exercise church
power is vested, examining crucial points concerning Christian liberty, comparing the Popish, Prelatic, Independent,
Congregational and Presbyterian systems, etc. Nine appendices deal with a wide range of
practical topics including union between churches, church/state relations,
ordination, and valuable notes on the
literature related to this subject. If you are interested in
Church issues, it is not likely that you will find a better set.

The title continues: "Also the Questions of Paedobaptisme and Dipping Handled

Shows the origin, progress and changing character of the Anabaptist's heresies
-- many which still afflict the body of Christ in our day (even in so-called

"testimonies" (i.e. quotations) are marshalled by Baillie -- both in
refuting and setting forth the pernicious Anabaptist teachings. Baillie was one of the Scottish Commissioners sent to

(concerning the ecclesiastical and civil battles for the Protestant cause of
his day) makes for an interesting backdrop to this title -- not often

Edwards was "a famous Presbyterian writer,
and a violent opposer of the Independents. Educated at Trinity College,
Cambridge where he took his degree of B.A. 1605, and of M.A. 1609. Having

BARROW, GREG
The Covenanted Reformation
Defended (1998)
Unsurpassed on points related to the Lord's supper, separation, covenanting and church
government (against the Independents and
the "Presbyterian" Independent denominationalism of our day and for
the covenanted uniformity and national and international Divine Right
Presbyterianism of Scripture)
as set forth by the best Reformers and best Reformed churches. This book (in
answer to the neopresbyterianism of Richard Bacon) is particularily strong on
matters related to the original intent of the Westminster divines! It includes great citations from Calvin and the Westminster
Assembly. Deals with many foundational aspects of the Covenanted Reformation (which gave us the Westminster Standards and the Solemn League and Covenant)
from numerous original source documents (from the Westminster Assembly's advice to the English
Parliament on the Lord's Supper to the official records of Calvin's Covenanting
in Geneva).
Comprehensive and compelling, this is a shocking
(and sometimes advanced) look at what really
took place during both the first and second Reformations -- with
extensive quotations from the writings of the major Reformers (not just quotes
from what others have written about them). It conclusively and irrefutably
demonstrates that those churches which today call themselves Presbyterian (and
even many which claim a more general Reformed heritage) have seriously departed
from the Scriptural standards, principles and worship of these previous
Spirit-led Reformations.
The Covenanted Reformation
Defended is written in an easy-to-read and easy-to-understand format and
is an unsurpassed work that should not be missed by anyone interested in real
Reformation in our day. This is without a doubt the
best book to read if you want to understand what it means to be a Covenanter
and to walk in the blood-stained footsteps of the witnessing church (Christ's
Covenanted and Reformed flock) (Song 1:8)! 318 pages, 8.5"

"justification of the manner and way of writing these books called Gangraena, wherein not only the
lawfulness, but the necessity of writing after this manner (i.e. naming names

(Facsimile, 1646, also contains: "Scandal and Christian
Libertie")
Over 750 pages which Walker says "contains the amplest exposition and vindication of our old
ecclesiastical principles." Rutherfurd here gives a classic defense of
Presbyterianism, touching on both church government and "the due and just
power of the Magistrate in matters of Religion." Regarding worship, he touches on imagery, idolatry, things
indifferent, ceremonies and will worship. Sherman Isbell describes this
book as follows: "Rutherford asserts that there is delineated in the NT a
form of Church government by elders and Presbyteries which is of permanent
obligation; more-over, that discipline and suspension from the sacraments are
vested with church officers rather than with the Christian civil magistrate. The book also expounds the Westminster Assembly's
principle that the mode of acceptable worship is regulated by the will of
Christ as king speaking in the Scriptures; the Church is not at liberty to
alter or invent anything in worship or government which goes beyond the pattern
in God's Word. Rutherford's writings
during the London years provide a significant commentary on the theology of the
Westminster Confession and Catechisms" (Dictionary of
Scottish Church History and Theology, pp. 735-36). Innes notes that Rutherford had
"no hesitation in including among matters of faith -- first, fundamental
points; second, superstructions built upon the fundamentals; third, circa
fundamentalia,
things about matters of faith;" making this an important look at the
teaching surrounding the Scottish view of the visible church, close communion,
etc. An exceedingly rare gem by this celebrated Presbyterian divine and
Scottish commissioner to the famous Westminster Assembly.

RUTHERFORD, SAMUEL
A Peaceable and Temperate
Plea for Paul's Presbytery in Scotland (1642)
The title continues: "Or, A modest and
Brotherly Dispute of the government of the Church of Scotland, Wherein, Our Discipline
is demonstrated to be the true Apostolic way of divine Truth, and the Arguments
on the contrary are friendly dissolved, the grounds of Separation and the
Independents of particular Congregations, in defence of Ecclesiastical
Presbyteries, Synods and Assemblies, are Examined and tried." "'This,' says Murray, 'is one of the most temperate,
judicious, and best written works he (Rutherford--RB) ever gave the world.
It corresponds in every respect with the promise which its title holds out;
with this exception, that it is much more learned, dispassionate, and
conclusive than the promise implies. It must have
had a very considerable effect on public sentiment, and have served to pave the
way for that introduction of the Presbyterian system into England which soon
took place'" (cited in
Rutherford's Letters, page 612, footnote 1, emphases added). It is another
classic by one of the grand old leaders of the Protesters (i.e. the Covenanters
who upheld the continuing obligation of the National and Solemn League and
Covenant and the biblical attainments of the second Reformation). Thomas Smith calls
Rutherford a "greatly experienced Christian, and celebrated divine,"
further noting that "Mr. Rutherford's reputation for piety, learning, and
sound theology, was so highly raised, both at home and abroad, by his writings
against the Arminians and Jesuits, which were composed in Latin, that, upon the
death of the learned Dematius in 1651, the
magistrates of Utrecht in Holland invited him to the divinity chair in that
university" (Select Memoirs... of Pious and Learned English
and Scottish Divines,
pp. 636, 639). One need only read Rutherford to
understand why he was held in such high esteem, internationally, by the
Reformed community. 340 pages.

REFORMED PRESBYTERY
An Explanation and Defence of
the Terms of Communion, Adopted by the Community of Dissenters, etc.
Defends the inescapable necessity of
creeds and confessions, while promoting a fully creedal church membership. Shows how the law of God
obliges all Christians "to think the same things, and to speak the same
things; holding fast the form of sound words, and keeping the ordinances as
they have been delivered to us" (Col. 3:13).
After laying some basic groundwork, this book
proceeds to defend the six points of the "Terms of Ministerial and
Christian Communion Agreed Upon by the Reformed Presbytery." These six points are the most conservative and
comprehensive short statements of consistent Presbyterianism you will likely
ever see. Besides the obvious acknowledgement of the alone
infallible Scriptures, the Westminster Standards, and the divine right of
Presbyterianism, these points also maintain the perpetual obligation of our
Covenants, National and Solemn League, the Renovation of these covenants at
Auchensaugh in 1712, and the Judicial Act, Declaration and Testimony emitted by the Reformed
Presbytery.
In short, this book sets forth
adherence to the whole of the covenanted reformation, in both church and state,
as it has been attained by our covenanting forefathers.

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.

HETHERINGTON, WILLIAM
History of the Westminster
Assembly of Divines (1856)
This
book is one of the best easy reading historical accounts published concerning
this unsurpassed Assembly. It includes much information and commentary on
the great battles over church government (especially between the Independents
and the Presbyterians) that took place among these Puritans, as we see hinted at in
Hetherington's purpose for writing this book (as stated in the preface as
follows):
In
common with all true Presbyterians, I have often regretted the want of a
History of the Westminster Assembly of Divines... Especially in such a time as
the present, when all distinctive Presbyterian principles are not only called
in question, but also misrepresented and condemned, such a want has become
absolutely unendurable, unless Presbyterians are willing to permit their Church
to perish under a load of unanswered, yet easily refuted, calumny. And as the
best refutation of calumny is the plain and direct statement of truth, it is by
that process that I have endeavored to vindicate the principles and the
character of the Presbyterian Church (p. i.).
Hetherington
covers the period from 1531 to 1662 -- a period when the importance of divinely
instituted church government was a major concern. Many consider this era a historical high water mark for doctrinal and
practical Puritan precision. Also
included is a chapter on the theological productions of the Westminster
Assembly and six valuable appendices (one containing six biographical notices
of the Scottish Commissioners including Rutherford, Gillespie, Henderson and
Baillie).
This
work is indispensable for understanding the work accomplished by the
Westminster Assembly, Presbyterian and Independent history, Oliver Cromwell and
much more.
Anyone
interested in the work of the Westminster Assembly, biblical
church government and the men, teaching and events which were at the heart of the Puritan revolution against the forces of
Antichrist, should read this book at least once. Third edition, 413
pages.

ROBERTS, WILLIAM
The Form and Function of
Apostolic Church Government
Edited by Larry Birger, Jr.
Concise and compelling, this excerpt from
Roberts', Reformed Presbyterian Catechism (also available from SWRB, at http://www.swrb.com/catalog/r.htm ), is a valuable
introduction to biblical, or apostolic, church government. It demonstrates,
with a wealth of scriptural quotation and discussion, that only Presbyterianism
has been instituted by Christ as the government of his church. Roberts also
gives a brief, but helpful, summary of what this government looks like in
practice (i.e., the function of apostolic church government). His question and
answer format makes for comfortable study, preparing the reader for more
in-depth treatments -- such as those found in The Divine Right of Church
Government,
by Sundry London Ministers (written at the time of the Westminster Assembly),
and Samuel Rutherford's classic, Due Right of Presbyteries.
