Religious
Principles of the Scottish Martyrs by Andrew Symington (Sets forth the major Scriptural truths which the Scottish
Presbyterians/Covenanters died for. Also introduces some of the reasons why
these Scriptural teachings were held in such high esteem; showing why
multitudes died the martyrs death rather than denying Christ before men in
relinquishing the precious points.)
The Covenanted
Reformation Defended Against Contemporary Schismatics by Greg Barrow (Greg Price, Dr. Reg Barrow and Dr. Larry Birger) Possibly the best history book dealing with

The Necessity of
Reforming the Church (1543) by John Calvin (Written in 1543 this short book covers the
principal disputes of the first Reformation. Kevin Reed summarizes the main
points of this treatise as follows: "Calvin declares the biblical
doctrine of justification. The reformer also unfolds the wider scope of the
Reformation, as he states the need to restore biblical doctrine and practice
regarding the proper means of worship, the correct administration of the
sacraments, and the government of the church. Calvin defends the reformers
against the charge of schism. He rebukes the spirit of ungodly toleration which
masquerades as 'moderation.' The Necessity of Reforming the Church is more than just an historic monument to the
Reformation. It is a spiritual manifesto, calling us to repentance in our own
era of religious corruption.")

A Testimony
Against the Unfounded Charges of Anabaptism (1997) by Greg Price
This book teaches us that "[t]he
heresy of Anabaptism lives today! It has infected the modern church with its
cancerous errors and heresies: anti-creedalism, arminianism, dispensationalism,
independency [sectarianism], anti-paedobaptism, will-worship
[anti-regulativism], perfectionism, societal escapism, religious pluralism and
tolerationism [anti-establishmentarianism], denial of the perpetual obligation
of social covenanting, pacifism, pietism, socialism, premillennialism, and a
refusal to recognize lawful civil government as the ordinance of God. These unbiblical
positions of the Anabaptists were not tolerated by the Reformed Churches of the
First and Second Reformations, and neither should they be tolerated by any
Church today that claims to be Reformed
or Presbyterian" [Greg Price]. Far to little contemporary Reformed
writing has been directed against the Anabaptists, especially in light of the
fact that many of their heresies have been generally adopted by professing
Christians. Even the "Reformed" community suffers from this
contagion. Lord willing, this book with be an effective antidote to the
"AIDS" of Anabaptist thought and practice.

The Wonders of the
Most High: 125 Years History of the United Netherlands 1550-1675 (c. 1678) by
Abraham Van De Velde (The
subtitle reads: "An Indication of the Causes, Ways and Means Whereby the
United Provinces, Against the Expectation of the Whole World, Were Elevated in
Such a Marvelous Way from their Previous Oppression to Such Great, Awe
Inspiring Riches and Acclaim. As Related By Several Eminent Historians, and
Which After the Manner of the Time are Compiled to a Necessary and Profitable
Use." This book gives us an indication why the best theologians in the
Netherlands were ready to swear the Solemn League and Covenant with their
brethren in the British Isles [before Cromwell and his forces ruined these
plans for a united international Protestant testimony]. It shows us that the
best Dutch Synods agreed with the Covenanters regarding the civil magistrate
[establishments], God's law, anti-tolerationism, historical testimony, true
unity, false teachers, the Sabbath, "Roman feast days," worship, etc.
Translated here for the first time from Dutch into English, this book may be a
shocker to those not familiar with the Dutch Reformation and the faithful
pronouncements of her Synods. Also available in softcover [for $19.95-20%=15.96

- "... when the classic historicist position is studied, the fulfillment in the case of Islam and Revelation chapter nine is seen to be so striking and well attested that 'even advocates of other approaches who are adamant in their rejection of the historicist system of interpretation have admitted the convincing nature of this particular identification'" - Steve Gregg, commenting on Rev. 9:1-6 in Revelation: Four Views, p. 176.

peculiar to the so-called Presbyterian tradition." This work demonstrates
that the regulative principle of worship was an indispensable and foundational
part of the Protestant Reformation -- being connected as it was to the battle
over the sufficiency of Scripture. Also available as a cerlox bound photocopy

"The
Counter Reformation is generally considered to have three aspects: the Jesuits,
the Inquisition, and the Council of Trent. In view of the significance of the
Protestant apocalyptic interpretation of history which prophetically pinpointed
step by step the events covering the whole Christian era from the beginning to
the end (i.e. Historicism - ed.), it seems justifiable to suggest a
fourth aspect, namely the preteristic
(Preterism - ed.) and
futuristic (Futurism - ed.) interpretations launched by Catholic expositors as
a counterattack." - Kevin
Reed, from his book review entitled "The Ecclesiology of John Foxe: A book

REFORMED PRESBYTERY
A Short Vindication of our Covenanted
Reformation (1879)
Until the church comes to terms with
what is written in this book it will remain weak and divided. Covenant breakers
will not prosper, as this rare item demonstrates from both Scripture and
history. The power packed ordinance of covenanting, (the National and Solemn
League and Covenant in particular), was foundational to the second Reformation
and the work of the Westminster Assembly. "By the National Covenant our
fathers laid Popery prostrate. By the Solemn League and Covenant they were
successful in resisting prelatic encroachments and civil tyranny. By it they
were enabled to achieve the Second Reformation... They were setting up
landmarks by which the location and limits of the city of God will be known at
the dawn of the millennial day... How can they be said to go forth by the footsteps
of the flock, who have declined from the attainments, renounced the covenants
and contradicted the testimony of 'the cloud of witnesses."...All the
schisms (separations) that disfigure the body mystical of Christ... are the
legitimate consequences of the abandonment of reformation attainments, the
violation of covenant engagements." If you are interested in knowing how
to recognize a faithful church (or state), when and why to separate from
unfaithful institutions, who has held up the standard of covenanted Reformation
attainments and who has backslidden (and why), what it means to subscribe to
the Westminster Confession (and why most that say they do so today do not have
any idea of what that means), and much more concerning individual, family,
church and civil duties, this is one of the best books you will ever lay your
hands on. It chronicles "some instances of worldly conformity and mark(s)
some steps of defection from our 'covenanted unity and uniformity,' "
noting how "it is necessary to take a retrospect of our history for many
years; for we did not all at once reach our present condition of sinful
ignorance and manifold apostasy." Presbyterian and the Reformed churches
lay under the heavy hand of God's judgement in our day, because of the very
defections noted throughout this fine work. "We heard (hear) from various
quarters the cry, 'maintain the truth, stand up for the principles of the
Second Reformation;' and yet many of those who are the most loud in uttering
this cry, appear desirous to bury in oblivion those imperishable national and
ecclesiastical deeds, by which the church and kingdom of Scotland became
'married to the Lord.'" Are we married to the Lord, or have we thrown off
the covenants of our forefathers; are we the chaste bride of Christ, or a
harlot who is found in the bedchambers of every devilish suitor (whether
ecclesiastical or civil) who tempts us with the favors of this world? Let us
cry out, as with "the noble Marquis of Argyle, upon the scaffold,"
when he said, "God hath tied us by covenants to religion and reformation.
These that were then unborn are yet engaged, and it passeth the power of all
the magistrates under heaven to absolve them from the oath of God. They deceive
themselves, and it may be, would deceive others, who think otherwise." Not
for the weak of heart.

CLARKSON, ANDREW
Plain Reasons for Presbyterians Dissenting from the
Revolution Church of Scotland. Also, Their Principles Concerning Civil
Government, and the Difference Betwixt the Reformation and Revolution
Principles (1731)
An exceedingly rare and important book
now back in print after 265 years! The Contending Witness magazine (May, 1841) described Plain Reasons "as the single best volume penned
defending the principles of the second Reformation." It sets forth "the grounds why
Presbyterian Dissenters refused to hold communion with the revolution church
and state," (Reformed
Presbytery, Act Declaration and Testimony for the Whole of Our Covenanted
Reformation, p. 154n). The
biblical principles contained in this book still apply today and thus Plain
Reasons remains one of the best
books explaining why (and when) an individual (church or citizen) should
separate himself (or itself) from those (in church or state) who do not hold
fast to all the attainments of our covenanted Reformation forefathers. In this regard the session of the Puritan
Reformed Church of Edmonton calls this the one book that best explains why
faithful Covenanted Presbyterians must, for conscience sake, remain
ecclesiastically separate from all Presbyterian denominations that have
backslidden from second Reformation attainments. (This being the classic corporate
Calvinistic application of such commands as "Nevertheless, whereto we have
already attained, let us walk
by the same rule, let us mind the same thing" [Phil. 3:16, emphasis
added]. It is also the acknowledgement that the Lord has clearly stated in his
Word that he "requireth that which is past" [Eccl. 3:15]).
Furthermore, the session of the PRC of
Edmonton has noted that this book "clearly spells out the reasons why to
unite with the Revolution Church (1689) or any of its descendants (The Free Church
of Scotland, The Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland, and American
Presbyterian Churches) is to undermine and subvert the work of the Second
Reformation. The argumentation is cogent (with an abundant supply of
documentation). The reading can be divided up into 5-10 pages at a time.
Reasons 8 and 9 (pp. 77-91) which speak to the issue of the covenants are very
helpful, as is Reason 14 (pp. 138-140) which covers the matter of terms of
communion. We might also highlight Clarkson's treatment of ecclesiastical
dissent (pp. 172-221 wherein he discusses schism) and political dissent (pp.
221-280). This is the best apologetic we have read defending the necessity
of Presbyterians to faithfully maintain the attainments of the Second
Reformation" (emphasis
added). Moreover, Clarkson's section on schism, separation and the nature of
the visible church (constitutionally considered) contains over 10 pages of
notes and quotes taken from numerous Reformers including: Beza, Rutherford,
Gillespie, Dickson, Durham, M'Ward (Rutherford's disciple), Marshall, Watson,
Cotton, Owen, Burroughs, Fraser, and Case -- demonstrating that his ideas
regarding dissent from corrupt and backsliding civil or ecclesiastical
governments are not new, but merely classic Reformation doctrine. The book also
answers a multitude of pertinent and realistic objections in sections
conveniently located directly after each reason for dissent.
Moreover, the days of the revolution
settlement were a time of civil and ecclesiastical confusion not unlike our own
day -- the beast (civil and ecclesiastical) was attempting to devour the
"woman in the wilderness" by a cunning mixture of half-truths that
were designed to beguile an exhausted and persecution-weary remnant. The consequences of the actions taken in these days, by both church
and state "officials," have been amplified by time and apply directly to our contemporary civil and
ecclesiastical situation ("That which hath been is now" [Eccl.
3:15]).
The Reformed Presbytery's Act,
Declaration and Testimony (p. 47)
further explains the original historical context -- so germane to the thesis of
this book -- regarding those deceptively trying days which followed the
"killing times" and final martyrs' death of that period of
persecution (being the death of the covenanted Presbyterian minister James
Renwick, who sealed his testimony with his blood February 17, 1688).
Of the so-called "glorious
revolution of 1688" and the overthrow of the Royalist tyranny the Reformed
Presbytery's measured and discerning comments read, "for in a few months,
God in his righteous judgement and adorable providence, overturned that
(Royalist--RB) throne of iniquity on which they (the persecuting popish,
prelatical, Erastian, antichristian [civil and ecclesiastical] "authorities"
which were then wondering after the beast--RB) depended, and expelled that
inhuman, cruel monster (the duke of York--RB), from his tyrannical and usurped
power, upon the Prince of Orange's (William of Orange--RB) coming over into
England, in the beginning of November that same year (1688--RB). But although
the Lord at this juncture, and by this means, rescued and delivered our natural
and civil rights and privileges in a national way, from under the oppression
and bondage of anti-christian tyranny, arbitrary and absolute power; yet the
revolution, at this time, brought no real deliverance to the church of God; but
Christ's rights (by these [rights--RB] are not meant the rights of Christ
personal. It is not in the power of mortals, or any creature, to acquire and
secure these to him; but the rights of Christ mystical, that is, of the church,
or of his truth, true worship, and religion, and professors of it as such.),
formerly acquired for him by his faithful servants, lay still buried under the
rubbish of that anti-christian building of prelacy, erected on the ruins of his
work in this land; and the spiritual liberties and privileges of his house
remained, and do still remain under the bondage of Erastianism, supremacy,
toleration, etc. For it is well known, that although this man (William of
Orange--RB), Jehu-like, 'destroyed Baal out of Israel, yet he departed not from
the sins of Jereboam, wherewith he made Israel to sin.'"
As a second witness to the testimony
also given throughout Clarkson's Plain Reasons see pages 55 and following in the Act,
Declaration and Testimony for more
on "the grounds of the presbytery's testimony against the constitutions,
both civil and ecclesiastical, at the late revolution, anno 1689; as also
against the gross Erastianism and tyranny that has attended the administration
both of church and state, since that memorable period; with various instances
thereof, etc."
Since these momentous days Antichrist
and his minions have sought to bury the covenanted Reformation and its
attainments (upholding Christ's Kingship over both church and state) under the
rubbish of democratic, humanistic, atheistic, tolerationism and a
"detestable neutrality" in the cause of God and truth -- the same
"detestable neutrality" so strongly inveighed against in the Solemn
league and Covenant. Commenting on this defection from within professing
Christendom, Clarkson writes,
"It is also evident from this, that Schism from our covenanted Church
consists in this, to wit, When the
Members of the Church make Defection to the contrary part, that is in plain
Terms, when they associate or incorporate with, assist and defend the Parties
against whom the Covenant (Solemn League and Covenant--RB) was made and sworn,
viz. Papists, Prelatist and their Underlings, Hereticks, &c. the common
Enemies of Reformation; and fall from the Duties of Preserving and propagating
the Reformation of the three Kingdoms; and refuse to join with, assist and
defend those, who adhere to the Covenants, in the necessary Work of Renewing
them, for Extirpation of Popery, Prelacy, Erastianism, Superstition, Heresy,
Error and Profaneness, and whatsoever is contrary to sound Doctrine and the
Power of Godliness; and for re-establishing, preserving, and propagating the
covenanted Reformation, once happily established in these Lands, and sworn unto
by our Covenants. Furthermore, Schism from our covenanted Church consists in
this, viz, When Members, Ministers or others, give themselves to a detestable
Indifferency and Neutrality, in the Cause of God, namely, in the preserving and
propagating the covenanted Reformation of these three Kingdoms; that is to say,
When Men are like so many Gallio's in the Cause of God, preferring worldly
Ease, Honour and Wealth, their own Interest to the Interest of Christ, become easy,
whether the covenanted Reformation in these Lands sink or swim; and, from a
cowardly Disposition in some, and a malignant, perfidious Temper in others,
coalesce and accord in apostatizing from the Articles of Covenant foresaid, the
Cause of God, and its honest-hearted Friends; and frighted from both, as if
they thought it both Sin and Shame to have it said, that they carried any warm
Side to either the one or the other. I say, All Members of this National
Church, who, on Account of any Combination, Persuasion, or Terror and Fear of
worldly Loss, of Sufferings of whatsoever Kind, are guilty in any of these two
Cases, are also guilty of making SCHISM from the covenanted Church, as is
clearly manifest by the 6th Article of our Solemn Covenant" (pp. 182-184, ,
emphasis added).
Commenting on the common charge of
schism leveled against those who would maintain the attainments of the
covenanted Reformation, Clarkson
writes: "Now, upon the whole of this Objection, as 'tis plain,
Presbyterian Dissenters are not Schismatics, nor deserve to be so called; so
'tis a most groundless and shameless Reflection, to call them Separatists, tho'
'tis the ordinary Name of Epithet given them, especially in Print; yet to me,
and I judge to many others, it is a Wonder with what Audacity, Men of Sobriety
and Conscience should have the confidence to speak at such a Rate, unless they
intend, in a desperate Humour, to render their Authority every where, amongst
all sober persons, contemptible: For, if two Persons, walking upon a high Path-Road,
on the Brink of a Puddle, the one of them by a Blast of Wind tumbling headlong
into the Gulf; when weltering amidst the Glare and miery Clay, cries up to his
Neighbor upon the Brink, Sir, unless you tumble over after me, I will look upon
you as a Separatist: Which of the two are to be judged most insnared into the
Course of Separation, whether the Person keeping the High-way, or the poor Man
wallowing in the polluted Mire, Crying upon his Neighbour to unite with him in
that his miserable Estate? Est solatium miseris habere socios doloris, ('Tis Comfort to Persons in Misery to have
Companions.) Have not this present Church thrown themselves over into the
Ditch of Pollution, in complying with these dreadful Apostates of this and the
former times? And, shall these be
judged Separatists, who dare not, who cannot, and may not in Conscience follow
their Example? Can such as join with, and strengthen them, be able to purge
themselves from the Guilt and Judgements, which accompany this shameful
Defection? For an Union here (so much cried up) without Debate, is the
Brotherhood of Simeon and Levi: It is an Union in the Course of Sin and Wrath,
and not in Truth and Duty" (pp. 206-207, emphasis added).
For more of this strong tonic get the
whole book -- it is one of the strongest and clearest calls that we have
ever seen for the church to repent of its covenant-breaking and backsliding and
return to its first love at the corporate level (covenantal and
constitutional).
In short, Clarkson's Plain Reasons, contains the highest quality of Reformation
thought regarding the subjects of which it deals. It is undoubtedly a major
Reformation classic and should be studied by all those who are serious about
seeing the destruction of the present tyranny (which is expressed in the modern
civil and ecclesiastical Babylon erected by those that oppose the covenanted
Reformation and the implementation of the Crown rights of King Jesus over the
whole Earth!).
