“…there never was a body of divines who labored more conscientiously, carefully, and faithfully, produced more important documents, or a richer theological literature, than that remarkably learned, able, and pious body…”

Charles A. Briggs

“The divines there congregated were men of eminent learning, godliness, ministerial abilities, and fidelity… as far as I am able to judge… the Christian world, since the days of the apostles, had never a synod of more excellent divines…”

Richard Baxter

An Historical Vindication of the Government of the Church of Scotland from the manifold base calumnies which the most malignant of the prelates did invent of old, and now lately have been published with great industry in two pamphlets at London. The one entitled ‘Issachar’s burden, etc.’ written and published at Oxford by John Maxwell, a Scottish prelate, excommunicated by the Church of Scotland, and declared an unpardonable incendiary by the parliaments of both kingdoms. The other falsely entitled ‘A declaration made by King James in Scotland, concerning church-government and presbyteries’, but indeed written by Patrick Adamson, pretended Archbishop of St. Andrews, contrary to his own conscience, as himself on his death-bed did confess and subscribe before many witnesses in a write hereunto annexed ToC

Very fitting for all judicious men to read, and examine, that they may be the better able to censure him for those thing wherein he hath done amiss. Read and Judge, 1643

A Parallel or Brief comparison of the liturgy with the mass-book, the breviary, the ceremonial, and other romish rituals. Wherein is clearly and shortly demonstrated, not only that the liturgy is taken for the most part word by word out of these antichristian writs; but also that not one of the most abominable passages of the mass can in reason be refused by any who cordially embrace the liturgy as now it stands, and is commented by the prime of our clergy. All made good from the testimonies of the most famous and learned liturgic writers both Romish and English, ToC
