"Better that Scotland were hacked by Claverhouse for cleaving to
the Lord, than that she should be flattered by infidels for her gradual
departure from the faith. Let not the blood of the Covenanters be spilt in vain... I am glad you are writing on Scots Worthies. Oh, that Scotland may stand fast in this evil
day!" (Charles Spurgeon, probably written to Andrew Bonar, emphases
added).

What Is A Moral Person? How God Views the Church
and the Nations by David
Scott, John Cunningham, and George Smeaton (A clear and concise summary of the biblical doctrine of the moral person;
i.e. that God regards churches and nations as moral entities separate from the

position, underlying as it does upon the issues of separation, civil

tyranny over men's consciences. - The covenant is no temporary obligation.. -
If such an ordinance to the army be scandalum acceptum, then the not making of it is scandalum datum.)

The United States, the Covenanters and the
Solemn League and Covenant
by Fred DiLella (Briefly explains
why the United States is still bound by the Solemn League and Covenant and is
therefore, at present, not a duly constituted nation -- but is rather a
backsliding, Christ defying, covenant-breaking, sin tolerating, baby murdering,
antichristian nation [though probably still the best, in many ways, of those
nations which now wonder after the beast during this time of the great
apostasy]. Furthermore, this letter sets forth some practical applications
regarding this teaching while also including numerous book notes demonstrating
the history of this position from among major Reformed authors. This
argumentation can be extended to apply to all nations that are constitutionally
the children of the British parent which covenanted with God in the Solemn
League and Covenant. A kind of national application of the principles involved
in the Presbyterian view of infant baptism. "Brethren, I speak after the
manner of men; Though it be but a man's covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no
man disannulleth, or addeth thereto" (Gal. 3:15). The best demonstration that the United States is
bound by the Solemn League and Covenant is Greg Price's recent 21 sermon series
on this topic -- which is free in MP3 format online (sermons 14-18 give the
specific proof that the USA in bound by the Solemn League and Covenant

Mr. (Samuel) Rutherford's Testimony to the
Covenanted Work of Reformation (from 1638 to 1649) in Britain and Ireland by Samuel Rutherford. (More help in understanding the attainments and
setbacks of the second Reformation. Rutherford was one of the leading
Covenanters and was sent by the
nationally established Presbyterian Church of Scotland to represent the nation
of Scotland at the Westminster Assembly. Rutherford is remembered today
primarily through his most notable writings, some of which include his Letters; Lex, Rex or The Law and the Prince [which laid the foundations for constitutional
government]; The Covenant of Life Opened or, A Treatise of the Covenant of
Grace and A Free Disputation
Against Pretended Liberty of Conscience).

Covenanted Uniformity by Jim Dodson (Sets the context for the Westminster Assembly and succinctly
explains why there is so much disagreement about what the Westminster standards
teach. Also points the reader in the direction of solving the problem of
disunity among Reformed folk today.)
The Reformed View of Schism by Andrew Clarkson. (The Reformers often said "that to avoid
schism we must separate." This should give the perceptive reader some
indication of how badly misunderstood the biblical teaching regarding schism
and separation (which should be differentiated in many ways) has become in our
day. Sadly, some of the most anti-Reformed work on this subject has been
written by contemporary individuals, who, though calling themselves Reformed,
"understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm" (1
Tim. 1:7). This excerpt from Clarkson's Plain Reasons for Presbyterians
Dissenting should contribute much
to correcting the promotion of unbiblical ecumenism and place this doctrine
back on its Scriptural foundation -- which was recovered during the
Reformation. Clarkson cites Beza, Rutherford, Gillespie, Dickson, Durham,
McWard (Rutherford's "disciple"), Marshal, Watson, Owen, Burroughs,
and many others, while defending the truth about schism. Objections brought
against the Reformation view of schism are also carefully answered. This is probably
the single best short treatment of this subject.)

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.

Nation Shaking Covenanted Reformation Promoted
A classic sermon by a modern-day Puritan!
Deals with the major facets of national Reformation from the Old and New
Testaments, as well as providing historic examples of how and why God blesses
this biblical pattern. Explains the duties of the church, state and individual
in bringing about national covenanted Reformation. Includes notes on the importance of covenanting
with God (individually and corporately) and on the forthcoming covenant renewal
(of the Solemn League and Covenant) in Edmonton. Exposes tolerationism and
religious pluralism as sin, gives instruction on the "two sons of
oil" in Zechariah's prophecy, and provides direction (from the Lord's
prayer as expounded by the Westminster Divines in the Larger Catechism) on the
kind of prayer that changes the world, destroys the work of the devil, and
honors and glorifies God. Reformation eschatology also gets its due here. This
sermon should be a great encouragement to those that have been given the grace
to see the bigger picture regarding what God is doing in the world today -- and
the certain world changing Covenanted Reformation that is to come during the prophesied millennium!

In this book Dr. Wagner
argues that because of their historical, political and philosophical ties to
Britain, and because of Britain�s covenantal ties to the God of the Bible in
the Solemn League and Covenant, the majority of English-speaking nations today
are bound by the Solemn League and Covenant.
This small book serves as
an excellent primer to the topics of religious social covenanting, Christian
political science and British political philosophy, by focusing its attention
on the neglected and broken Solemn League and Covenant of 1643.
