In the history of the church's sanctification I don't believe there has been a more valuable extra-biblical resource and tool than the Puritan Hard Drive.
It holds some of the most priceless Reformed works of God-centered and Christ-glorifying truth that were ever penned.
Most students, ministers and scholars of the Bible would never personally acquire even half the literal number of books on the Puritan Hard Drive, much less the extreme caliber of its contents.
In God's providence modern day Christians have been chosen to be the recipients of both a theological and practical blessing. May we not squander it.

* 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."

it available."

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

FABER, GEORGE S.
A Dissertation on the Prophecies, That Have Been Fulfilled,
Are Now Fulfilling, or Will Hereafter Be Fulfilled Relative to the Great Period
of 1260 Years; The Papal and Mohammedan Apostacies; The Tyrannical Reign of
Antichrist, or the Infidel Power; and the Restoration of the Jews
(2 volumes, 1811)
Defends classic historicist
postmillennialism and its position relative to the 1260 year period mentioned
in Scripture.
In the author's words,
(t)reats
of a subject peculiarly interesting to every serious Protestant: for the famous
period of 1260 prophetic days, so frequently mentioned by Daniel and St. John,
comprehends the tyrannical reign of those three great opponents of the Gospel:
Popery, Mohammedism, and Infidelity. This period indeed may not improperly be
styled the permitted hour of the powers of darkness; since the Church is represented as
being in an afflicted and depressed state during the whole of its continuance,
and since its expiration will be marked by a signal display of the judgments of
God upon his enemies and by the commencement of a new and happy order of
things.
Understanding the Reformation
position on eschatology, as it is set forth in this work, gives us great insight
as to why the Romanists (i.e. the Jesuits in particular) were so intent on
planting both Preterism (Alcasar, c. 1615) and Futurism (Ribera, c. 1585) among
the Protestants. 583 pages.

FAIRBAIRN, PATRICK
The Interpretation of Prophecy
This is Fairbairn's best-known work. Like all his writings it
is characterized by a deep familiarity with the text and language of Scripture,
careful and thoroughly-researched scholarship, and a sane and balanced approach
to exegesis. Here we have "the mature reflections of a
lifetime of devoted scholarly study of the subject of prophecy.
Part one deals with the principles of interpretation.
Part two applies these principles to matters related to the kingdom of
Christ (and its victory), Antichrist and the beast (and their doom), the
millennium, the mystery of iniquity, and much more.
If you
want to know, from a practical standpoint, why in our day so-called Protestants
are signing compromising agreements with Roman Catholics, why there is so much
disunity and defection in the church, why age old Confessional standards are
being abandoned, and why their is general turmoil all about, this book will
certainly help to give you the clear and sobering answer.

FAIRBAIRN, PATRICK
Jonah: His Life, Character, and Mission (1963 reprint)
According to Joseph C. Holbrook, Jr., "It would be hard to find an exposition of Scripture as
worthy of re-issue as Fairbairn's work on the prophet Jonah.
Although it is well over a century old it is as fresh and stimulating today as
it was then. When the commentary was nearly 50 years old, the greatest preacher
of his day, Charles H. Spurgeon, called it 'by far
the ablest English treatise on this prophet.' The present writer can
testify that his long search in used book stores in Great Britain and this
country was amply repaid when he laid his hands on this precious little volume.
As he had learned that there was no exposition of the prophet Ezekiel that
could compare with Fairbairn's, he quickly learned that no serious preaching from the book of Jonah could be done without a
reference to the work of this faithful expositor of God's Word."
Holbrook adds that "the comments of this
long-departed worthy from the hills of Scotland will hold an honored place on
the shelves of many a preacher who proclaims God's truth to a modern day
generation."
Fairbairn himself writes in the preface that
"the consideration of the book of Jonah, besides the other advantages it
yields, furnishes some sure and well-defined
landmarks for guiding our way to a sound interpretation of the word of prophecy."
At the end of the book, Fairbairn draws some
lessons for Christians to learn from Jonah's life. For example, he points out
that God may have certain Christians serve Him in ways different from what
those Christians expected. "The field in which they are destined to reap
most fruit, may possibly not be the one which they are themselves disposed to
choose -- it may not even be that which has received the largest share in their
prayers and personal application. As generally 'the
times of men are before appointed by God, and the bounds of their habitations
are set,' so in particular his most faithful and honoured servants are often
shut up by him into peculiar, and by themselves entirely unsought channels of
usefulness" (p. 186). This kind of information helps the reader
to apply insights from Jonah to his own life.

pages), and Table of Contents (2 pages).

Pastoral Theology: A Treatise
On The Office And Duties Of The Christian Pastor
FAIRBAIRN, PATRICK
Prophecy Viewed in Respect to Its Distinctive Nature, Its
Special Function, and Proper Interpretation (1865)
A 532-page manual of interpretation focusing on prophecy. Full of applications, it makes for interesting
reading. Fairbairn elevates prophetic discussion by helping us to "look
into the very nature of God, to behold in his light the laws of eternity,
according to which he governs the church and the world," which is "something infinitely higher
than a mere knowledge of the future"
(Hengstenberg). The sections on the Papacy and
Antichrist are some of the best writing on this topic. This book
is light years ahead of the modern mush and drivel that is peddled by the
prophetic speculators of our day!

The Prophetical Future of the Church and Kingdom of Christ, in their
Relation to the Character, Working, and Fate of the Antichristian Apostasy
Excerpted from the book The Interpretation of Prophecy this book gives us a
fascinating look at what the bible has to say about the period in which we
live. It focuses on one of our great enemies, Antichrist, and exhibits the
manner in which he is portrayed in "Daniel both Typically and
Antitypically;" "as represented by our Lord and his Apostles;"
"as represented in the Apocalypse;" and in regard "to its
Overthrow and Final Doom." A fine short introduction to classic Protestant
Historicist Postmillennialism and a good way to whet your appetite for a larger
work like David Steele's Notes on the Apocalypse, which is one of the most
important books on eschatology to be published in quit some time.

The Revelation of Law in Scripture (1869, reprinted 1996)
Fairbairn expounds the biblical teaching dealing with the law of God in
creation, throughout the Mosaic administration, in the teaching of our Lord,
and in the life of the Christian believer. John Murray said of this book,
"The Revelation of Law in Scripture places the law of God in
its proper perspective. The careful perusal of this volume should correct the
misconceptions which have afflicted the thought of many, and should promote the
understanding of the sanctity of God's law without which the gospel of grace is
meaningless."
(Hardcover) $69.95-15%=$59.46 (US funds)
Typology of Scripture
This classic work thoroughly examines typology, not only as a biblical and
theological subject, but also in its connection with the development of all
Christian doctrine. It is Fairbairn's crowning achievement. Barber called it
"the best ever written on this subject." Brookman said that it was
"the most conclusive evangelical work on typology." Two volumes bound
into one, of over 900 pages.

The Nature, Possibility, and Duty, of a True Believer's Attaining to a

Perseverance to Glory (1675, reprinted 1845)
The biblical doctrine of assurance discussed, showing that the "Papal
doctrine of denying the possibility of assurance is false," and how it
"hath a dangerous tendency to destroy the true peace and comfort of souls
in the certain hopes of everlasting happiness."

Letters on Baptism
The author, a Baptist for many years, was commissioned by Baptists to prepare a
book in defense of Baptist views of baptism. During re-examination of the
subject for this publication, he adopted the Presbyterian position. This book

The title continues: "Wherein the gross
falsehoods, calumnies, and imposed sense, palmed by Mr. John Goodlet, upon the
Testimony emitted by the Reformed Presbytery, are exposed and confuted; and
said Testimony vindicated. As also, the seceding scheme of political principles
more fully detected;-- and discovered to be inconsistent with the law of
nature, light of divine revelation, and covenanted testimony of the Church of
Scotland."
Goold, in his The Reformed Presbyterian
Church in Scotland: Its Origin and History 1680-1876, writes of Fairly and this book,
He was very zealous
and outspoken in his maintenance of Church principles, and unsparing in his condemnation
and exposure of the shortcomings of other denominations. This caused him to be
both feared and disliked by many outside of his own communion; yet by the
ministers who were nearest his residence, and who came most frequently in
contact with him, he was greatly esteemed. He was fearless of consequences in
the discharging of his duties. On one occasion, when in Ireland, his scathing
exposure of Popery so irritated the Catholics, that three of them resolved to
disturb his next meeting by musical instruments (and remember that no faithful
Presbyterian used this "badge of Popery" -- musical instruments -- in
their public meetings--RB). They came prepared to do this, but were so overcome
by the grave dignity of the man, and by the truth he spoke, that they could do
nothing but quietly listen. Two of them, it is said, became earnest
Protestants. On another occasion he denounced 'unpreaching bishops,' and
declared that his Lordship of Bangor was worse than Balaam's ass, which spoke
once at least, and rebuke the madness of the prophet. Some were so highly
offended that they resolved to waylay and stone the preacher. Mr. Fairly was
aware of this, but refused to change his route. As he approached the ambuscade,
a dispute arose as to his identity; some held that it was the object of their
hate, others said, 'No, never a bit of him; who ever saw a mountain minister
ride such a good horse?' and while they disputed he got beyond their reach. One who knew him writes thus: 'I had some knowledge of
the elder Fairley; he fearlessly attacked the reigning follies of his age, and
preached the Gospel in a familiar but forcible style of eloquence.
In his great field days, and when contending for the Testimony of the Martyrs,
he was unsparing in the use of arrows, oft broke a lance with the Pope, and
drove rusty nails into our venerable Establishment, and lashed the Secession
and Relief for their declensions.' so pointed was his dealing with the sins of
the times, that many left his meetings when he came to the application of his
discourse... He took part in the controversy with the Seceders, and published a
pamphlet in reply to Goodlet, the Anti-burgher minister of Sanquhar, in which
he gives a scathing exposure of the weakness and inconsistency of his opponent,
and directs against him all his resources of humour and sarcasm, as well as the
weightier weapons of solid argument. But it was in proclaiming the riches of
the glorious Gospel to cast audiences under the open canopy of heaven, that the
power of Fairley was fully disclosed. He was
undoubtedly the preacher among the 'Four Johns.' He had a commanding presence,
a well-furnished mind, and a fluent and forcible utterance; and when he warmed
to his grand theme, his words moved the hearts of the crowds that had gathered
around him, and many owned him as their spiritual father (pp.
221-222).

Edwards, Whitefield, the True Nature of Revival and the "Old
Time" Charismatics (1742)
Originally titled "A Review of the Preface to a Narrative of the
Extraordinary Work at Kilsyth...," this book exposes the deficiencies of
shallow revivalism and warns against what today would be called charismatic
excesses. It contrasts these weaknesses with the true nature and fruit of
salvation (from a Reformed perspective), and specifically deals with some of
the less than Scriptural antics of George Whitefield ("a Priest of the
Church of England, who refuses to be reformed," Fisher notes) and those
Presbyterians that would hear him (occasional hearing). Some of Jonathan
Edwards' revival methods also warrant rebuke in this piece. At one point Fisher
writes that Edwards' defense of these works uses "exactly the language of
Quakers, a branch of that hellish scheme, calculated for enervating and
overthrowing the divine authority of the Word, as it is the only foundation of
faith in our Lord Jesus Christ" (p. 19). He also notes "that Edwards
wants to set aside the Word, as the only rule, at least, in judging and trying
this work" (i.e. the "revivals" at Kilsyth and Cambuslang). The
work also exposes the defective nature of "revivals" that deal with
only personal reformation, leaving off any thought of (or actively burying) the
more public concerns that have been prominent in past reformations. Fisher
writes, "But can any of the promoters of this work allege for themselves,
that they are making the least essay towards public Reformation, as it has been
owned and professed in these lands? Nay, as shall afterwards be made appear,
they are doing what they can to obliterate the memory of Scotland's covenanted
Reformation, and to raze all concern thereanent out of the minds of the people"
(p. 26). In short, the defective nature of these past "revivals," are
shown to "overthrow the very foundation of faith, and all practical
godliness and to establish mere enthusiasm and strong delusion, in the room of
true religion, revealed and required in the Word." This work is also
useful in evaluating the "laughing revival" (or "Toronto
blessing") of our day. 68 pages.

FISHER , JAMES, EBENEZER & RALPH ERSKINE and OTHERS
The Westminster Assembly's Shorter Catechism Explained, By
Way of Question and Answer (1753,
1911 edition)
The
title continues: "Wherein it is essayed to
bring forth the truths of God contained in that excellent composure, more fully
than has been attempted in any one of the explicatory Catechisms hitherto
published...."
Dr. M'Crie writes, "(t)his well-known work was very
generally employed by ministers as their test-book at the public examinations
of their people, when both old and young were duly catechised. This was, in
fact, a profound system of divinity, and was especially devoted to an
explanation of the Marrow doctrines" (cited in the Treasury of the Scottish Covenant, p. 474).
Mackay
notes that it "displays a rich fund of sound
theological practical erudition; and it soon became, and still continues to be,
the favorite religious manual in thousands of Scotland's religious families,
and had associated his name (i.e. Fisher--RB) with the Erskines especially as a
household word" (Ibid.).
We have also added in the original sections of this book that
were taken out by the backsliding (American) Presbyterians that published this
later edition. And what
they left out is very telling about their defection from Reformation
attainments. Among other things they
deleted sections dealing with worship (iconoclasm), national covenanting, civil
government, toleration, capital punishment (as proved from Old Testament case
law), baptism, etc. We have placed all these
previously excluded questions and answers in a separate section at the front of
the book so that it will be easy for you to see what these unfaithful editors
did not want you to see. Thus,
you still get the benefit of the superior typesetting of this later edition,
with the full text as the original (more Reformed) authors intended it.

FLAVEL, JOHN
The Works of John Flavel
(1820 ed., 6 Volumes)
John Flavel was a noted minister in seventeenth
century England. His father, Richard Flavel, was also a minister. Richard
Flavel was imprisoned for preaching in private worship services, which had been
declared illegal by the evil tyrant King Charles II, and although subsequently
released, he had caught the plague in prison, and died.
Although for much of his life John Flavel was
a settled minister in Dartmouth, he also spent some
of his ministry conducting "illegal" worship services during those
periods when King Charles' persecuting fury was at its height against God's
faithful people (cf. Antipharmacum
Saluberrimum: A Serious and Seasonable Caveat to all the Saints in This Hour of
Temptation, which includes Flavel's
comments on separation from truly unlawful services [in terms of biblical
teaching], which we have retitled, A Warning
Against Backsliding, False Worship and False Teachers, and also
republished in a separate volume from this set).
Flavel was popular with both the common
people he served as well as fellow ministers. He was known as a holy and gifted
man of God. Many people were blessed not only by his preaching and private
discussions, but also his published writing. The following quotation from
"The Life of John Flavel," a piece found at the beginning of the
first volume in this set, gives an example of the effect of Flavel's writing:
"Mr. Flavel
being in London in 1673, his old bookseller, Mr. Boulder, gave him this
following relation, viz. That some time before, there came into his shop a
sparkish gentleman to enquire for some play-books; Mr. Boulder told him he had
none, but shewed him Mr. Flavel's little treatise of 'Keeping the Heart,'
intreated him to read it, and assured him it would do him more good than play
books. The gentleman read the title, and glancing upon several pages here and
there, broke out into these and such other expressions, What a damnable Fanatic was he who made this book? Mr.
Boulter begged of him to buy and read it, and told him he had no cause to
censure it so bitterly; at last he bought it, but told him he would not read
it. What will you do with it then, said Mr. Boulter? I will tear and burn it,
said he, and send it to the Devil. Mr. Boulder told him, that he should not
have it. Upon this the gentleman promised to read it; and Mr. Boulder told him,
if he disliked it upon reading, he would return him his money. About a month
after, the gentleman came to the shop again in a very modest habit, and with a
serious countenance, bespoke Mr. Boulder thus; Sir, I
most heartily thank you for putting this book into my hands; I bless God that
moved you to do it, it has saved my soul; blessed be God that ever I came into
your shop. And then he bought a hundred more of those books of him, and told
him he would give them to the poor who could not buy them, and so left him,
praising and admiring the goodness of God. Thus it pleased God to bless the sermons, discourses and
writings of Mr. Flavel"
(Vol. 1, pp. xiii-xiv, emphases added).
The writings of Flavel continue to bless
God's people today.

"The repeated editions of Flavel's
Works bear their own witness to
his popularity. He was a favorite with Jonathan Edwards and George Whitefield (who
ranked him with John Bunyan and Matthew Henry), and, a century later, with...
R.M. M'Cheyne and Andrew Bonar" (BT cat. note).
In Cyclopaedia Bibliographica, A
Library Manual of Theological and General Literature (http://www.swrb.com/catalog/d.htm), James Darling notes that Flavel was "ejected for conformity in 1662," and that "he was a man of exemplary piety,
in doctrine a Calvinist; an experimental, affectionate, practical, and popular
writer" (p. 1144).
All of Flavel's works were originally written
in the seventeenth century, but this collection
of his works is much easier to read as it is retypeset in the common
style of the early nineteenth century (being the 1820 edition). There are
approximately 3,667 total pages in this set of six volumes.

FLEMING, ROBERT
The First Principles of Apocalyptical Interpretation (1848)
A
short defense of the historicist postmillennial position, which was held by
almost all of the Reformers. Explains that
historicism deals with the great whore that rides the beast of Revelation as the
symbolic representations referring to "the ecclesiastical government of
the Papacy, or the apostate church of Rome," and the Roman Empire
respectively. Holds to and defends a late
date for the writing of the book of Revelation (which was the generally accepted
position, concerning the dating of the book of Revelation, of early church for
about the first three centuries after Christ). This is the
postscript, excerpted from Fleming's complete treatise The Rise and Fall of
the Papacy below.

The Fulfilling of the Scripture (1726, 5th ed. corrected)
The title continues: "Complete; In Three Parts. Part 1. An Essay showing
the exact Accomplishments of the Word of God in his Works of Providence,
performed, and to be performed, for confirming Believers, and convincing
Atheists of the present Time. As also many rare Histories of the Works and
Servants of God in the Church of Christ. Part 2. The Faithfulness of God
considered and cleared, in the great Event of his Word. Part 3. The great Appearances
of God for his Church under the New Testament; with many choice Speeches of
suffering and dying Christians. Together With Some Memoirs of the Author's
Life; in a Sermon preached on the Occasion of his Death. By the late Learned
Daniel Burgess. To Which is added an Index, Alphabetically digested, of all the
principal Matters contained in the Three Parts; and at the Beginning of the
Work a Table of Scot's Phrases, which often occur in reading Mr. Fleming's, Mr.
Rutherford's, Mr. Durham's, and other Scot's Author's Works." Spurgeon
writes of this book, "It is an elaborate treatise upon the fact that the
Scriptures are fulfilled and the word of the Lord is true. As such it deserves
the high encomiums so freely showered upon it by the eminent divines of
Fleming's own time, and it abundantly justifies the issue of so many
editions" (as cited in Johnston, , Treasury of the Scottish Covenant,
p. 370). Grant comments, "Fleming is best known for The Fulling of
Scripture... an elaborate work in three
parts, in which he traces the outworking of Scripture truth in church history
and Christian experience" (Cameron, ed., Dictionary of Scottish
Church History and Theology, p. 325). The
introductory note, signed by Thomas Ridgley, Daniel Neal and 19 others, states,
"Fleming is universally known to have been a person of singular worth and
piety, and his works declare him a diligent and careful observer of the
providences of God towards his Church and people. Many such instances, which no
other author has taken notice of, and which, were they not well attested
(speaking of the "miraculous" and "prophetic" occurrences
that sometimes arise in history--RB), would appear almost incredible, are to be
met with in his book, called The Fulfilling of Scripture. A performance which has so far entitled itself to
the esteem of all serious Christians, as not to need our recommendation."

FLEMING, ROBERT
The Rise and Fall of the Papacy (1848)
"Originally
published in 1701. The first of these discourses has been the most celebrated.
It arrested public notice, and awakened the interest of Europe. After laying
down the principle upon which the author conceived the Apocalypse should be
interpreted, he explained the pouring out of the fourth vial with reference to
Anti-Christian France, fixing 1794 as the date of the expiration of the vial.
When the French Revolution took place it was then remembered that it had been
so predicted by a forgotten Scottish pastor. The work was reprinted both in
England and America, translated into different languages, and once more fell
out of sight till the revolution of 1848 led to a fresh perusal. Referring to
Italy, the author wrote: 'The Fifth vial, which is to be poured out upon the
seat of the Beast will probably begin about 1794 and expire about the year
1848.' The downfall of the Papacy, according to Fleming, is going on; the
Mohammedan Antichrist will follow, and about A.D. 2000 (Jewish reckoning, about
2017 on the Julian calendar--RB), the millennial epoch will begin. In that memorable year (1848) the Pope was compelled
to become a fugitive from Rome; and it was certainly a striking
coincidence" (Johnston, The Treasury of the Scottish Covenant, 371). "A
reprint," wrote The Patriot,
"of one of the most remarkable and sagacious works extant on the subject
of unfulfilled prophecy, deserving a perusal as a succinct, learned, and
eminently devout exposition of the Apocalypse." Reprinted
without abridgement from the 1701 edition. 143 pages.

The Hierarchical Bishops Claim to a Divine Right, Tried at the
Scripture-Bar (1699)
"Ordained at Alva in 1664 he initially conformed to episcopacy, but on
reading John Brown of Wamphray's Apologetical Relation he became
a convinced Presbyterian and joined the ranks of the conventicle preachers...
Forrester's experience in both camps well equipped him for the ecclesiastical
controversies of the day. A prolific if painstaking writer, he became one of
the ablest advocates of Presbyterianism," writes Grant (Cameron, ed., Dictionary
of Scottish Church History and Theology, p.
331). This book exposes the "bold perverting of the Scriptures pleaded by
them (the Prelates--RB); vindicating the sound sense of the Scriptures... and
the judgment of Protestant writers. The whole issuing in a clear discovery of
the solid grounds of Presbyterian government, in opposition to Prelacy,"
as the subtitle states. 342 pages.

(c. 1554, 8 volumes,
1843-49 edition)
This the only complete eight volume edition
of Foxe's classic work in print, of which we are aware! A
very rare set, now back in print after more than 150 years!
"No book ever inflicted a wound so deep and
incurable on the Romish system of superstition and 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). The complete eight volume edition contains much
information not found in any of the liberally edited and severely shortened
versions of this classic work which are in print today -- in fact, most of the
modern editions have left out over 6000 pages. Covering martyrs from
the early church through to Foxe's day, it was one of the most influential
books of the sixteenth century!
The testimony of the martyrs was extraordinary.
Their impact was greatly increased through the industrious writing of John
Foxe... Never before had such a work on such a
scale appeared in English, certainly never at such a moment... Along with the Bible, Foxe's
Book of Martyrs became a family
book in many homes. Foxe's
Acts and Monuments (the formal title of his extensive chronicle on
the martyrs) was the principal practical means of turning England to
Protestantism (Who are the Puritans?, pp. 35-36).
Broadening the scope of this testimony, the British Academy also notes,
The Acts and
Monuments of the English Martyrs was second only to the English Bible as a formative
influence on the language and culture of this country.
Most importantly, though, this book overflows
with faith building testimony of the power of God to overcome the
most cruel and barbarous acts of human depravity and demonic cruelty. 6890
pages.
The full title of this edition was (spelling has been updated): Acts
and Monuments of These Latter and Perilous Day, Touching Matters of the Church,
Wherein Are Comprehended and Describes the Great
Persecutions and Horrible Troubles That Have Been Wrought and Practised by
the Romish Prelates, Specially In This Realm of England and Scotland, From the
Year of Our Lord A Thousand, Unto the Time Now Present. Gathered and Collected
According To the True Copies and Writings Certified As Well Of the Parties
Themselves That Suffered, As Also Out of the Bishops Registers, Which Were the
Doers Thereof, by John Foxe

FRASER, JAMES (of Brae)
The Lawfulness and Duty of Separation from Corrupt
Ministers and Churches Explained and Vindicated (1744)
This is one of the most
comprehensive treatises dealing with the lawfulness and duty of separation. It does not shy away from the hard biblical
questions, but rather meets them head on. Fraser covers all the major biblical
reasons for separation, both in general and in particular. Some of these
Scriptural reasons for separation include (examples in parentheses are selected
to fit our contemporary situation in accord with the general headings found in
the book -- though a number of these specific errors are also dealt with in the
book itself):
1. Heresy, or error in doctrine
(e.g. Arminianism, Pelagianism, Romanism, the denial of the regulative
principle of worship, the denial of justification by faith alone through grace
alone by Christ alone, antinomianism, legalism, etc.)
2. Idolatry in public
worship (e.g. singing hymns of human composition, paedocommunion and
open communion, the use of musical instruments, women speaking or preaching in
public worship, anti-paedobaptism, Charismatic [or anabaptistic] folly and
excesses, malignancy [anti-covenanting], etc.)
3. Tyranny in government
(e.g. Popery, Prelacy, Independency, etc.)
4. Sinful terms of communion
(e.g. any terms which deny or ignore the attainments of the covenanted
Reformation or in any way contravene Scripture)
5. Tolerationism
(e.g. refusing to discipline the scandalous, open communion and countenancing false
ministers or false governments or false doctrine, etc.).
Many other areas are also dealt with, not the
least of which include a strong testimony against
the Prelatical Priest George Whitefield (who, as the preface notes, is "a person
leavened with gross errors, enthusiastic delusions, etc.").
In the publisher's original reasons for
publication we read,
In this book the
case and nature of schism and separation is cleared, and the true scriptural
terms of church-communion, and grounds of separation from corrupt churches and
ministers, carrying on backsliding courses from the covenanted
Reformation-principles..., are clearly handled, and the same proven to be just
and warrantable grounds of separation, and many useful cases of conscience
concerning separation; and what are just and warrantable grounds of separation
and what are not, are solidly, learnedly, and accurately discussed and
resolved, and the case of separation clearly stated, handled and determined;
and separation from corrupt ministers and churches
is fully vindicated; and the true Scripture marks of time-servers
and hirelings, who should be separated from, are given from the Word of God.
Calvin, Knox, Rutherford,
Gillespie, Durham, Owen (who repented of his Independency and embraced Presbyterianism
just before he died) and a host of other notable Reformers are cited
throughout. Occasional hearing and occasional
communion are also exposed and rebuked from Scripture. Appended to the book is:
The Reasons agreed
upon by the Reformers of the Church of Scotland, For which the Book of Common
Prayer, urged upon Scotland, Anno 1637 was refused. As also the Reasons agreed
upon by the Assembly of Divines at Westminster, for laying aside the English
Book of Common Prayer. Together with Mr. George Graham's Renunciation and
Abjuration of Episcopacy.
This is an almost flawless photocopy of this exceedingly rare and valuable book (which
was obtained at great expense from the Bodleian Library [Oxford University] in
England). It is one of the major Reformed classics
concerning the topics that it addresses and it answers many common questions
which Christians raise today regarding church affiliation. It is
also a much needed landmark of Reformation testimony against the white devils
of Independency and sectarianism and the black devils of Popery and Prelacy --
which can be seen to be covering the land once again -- contrary to the
teaching of the Word of God and the attainments fought (and died) for during
the second Reformation. 239 pages.

FULTON, JUSTIN D.
Washington in the Lap of Rome (1888)
"Romanism is Antichrist,
pure and simple" (p. 33). Justin
D. Fulton doesn't mince his words in this book (of 265 pages) expressing
concern over the growing influence of the Roman Catholic Church in the United
States in the late 1800s.
Fulton is just as sharp describing Ignatius Loyola's wounding, before Loyola
conceived of creating the Jesuit Order:
"A cannon-shot
hit the leg of a scoundrel instead of his head, as in Spain he stood before
Pampileuno's walls. For religion, catholicity and man, that was the unluckiest
cannon-shot recorded in history; for when the tibia of the wounded patient
knitted they marvelously supported the body of a man who with the heart of a
devil has been permitted to masquerade in the robes of a saint" (p. 36, Of
course we don't believe in "luck" as such -- ed.).
Speaking of the Jesuits themselves, Fulton
writes,
"They
work in darkness, and they oppose the truth. . . . Their history is a continued
series of associations, massacres of innocent people, conspiracies and
machinations against existing laws and orders. The masses they have incited to
revolt, and the rulers to bloody and fruitless wars. Corruption they sow
broadcast over the land in order to further their doctrines of treason,
perjury, falsehood, and murder"
(p. 46).
Fulton's concern in this book can be
expressed in his own words: "Romanism is
advancing through our open gates like a mighty force, bulldozing and corrupting
our legislators, and demanding privileges and exemptions for itself which no
other sect would do" (p. 52). "Rome climbs to power
because it is joined to every form of evil, is in league with the enemy of all
righteousness, and runs with the multitude in evil-doing" (p. 66).
"Rome is the
absolute and irreconcilable foe of the United States" (p. 114).
With this in mind, Fulton includes one whole
chapter arguing that Abraham Lincoln's assassination was a Romish plot.
He also includes a chapter briefly outlining the
history of the Huguenots.
"Romanism is a lie, coined in hell, and
built up as a system through the machinations of Satan. It must be resisted,
and Romanists must be warned of their peril, because they who believe in such
error are damned" (p. 210).
There are some troubling aspects to the book
that arise from Fulton's acceptance of certain American liberal principles,
such as support for the Roger Williams version of religious freedom (cf. Henry
Dexter's, Roger Williams and His 'Banishment' from the Massachusetts
Plantation; With a Few Further Words Concerning the Baptists, the Quakers, and
Religious Liberty(1876),
http://www.swrb.com/catalog/D.htm,
and Samuel Rutherford's A Free Disputation Against Pretended Liberty of
Conscience (1649), http://www.swrb.com/catalog/R.htm), and support for American public schools (see Gregg
Harris', The Christian Home School, http://www.swrb.com/catalog/H.htm, and
Reg Barrow's, Godless Public Education and Sin, FREE at: http://www.swrb.com/newslett/actualnls/CRTPubliced.htm). But overall, the focus of the book is against Roman
Catholicism, and its dangerous influence in American politics.
Fulton, of course, opposes the papacy. "The Pope always stands for a lie. His feet are planted
on a lie. If there were no lie there would be no Pope" (p.
235).
He notes that these are important issues:
"Say not that these questions of dogma should be left to theological
disputants. They belong to the people. They influence life. They shape
destiny" (p. 240).
This book cries out for
Americans to take a stand in opposition to the Romish Church. "Shall Americans contend for the truth or betray
it? This is the question of this hour, and of all hours" (p. 191).
"Will Americans rise to the level of
their great opportunity and do their whole duty? or will they bow down to Rome,
and barter away their God-given rights? This is the question of the hour! How
will it be answered? Shall men be taught error, or the truth? Remember, 'as a
man thinketh in his heart, so is he.' Think right, and all will be well. Think
wrong and act wrong, and ruin awaits you" (p. 246).
In sum, "Washington,
the centre of political influence and activity, is in the lap of Rome, with the
consent of the people. Let there be a protest. Unroof the monster, Jesuitism"
(p. 247).
