Welcome Even with the summary of the waters of rebirth book video books "Naphtali, and the struggle of the Church of Scotland for the Kingdom of Christ" James Stewart
James Stewart, a Covenanter lawyer and writer, is characterized by Wodrow as "a great Christian and a political power, one of the best lawyers Scotland never race, universal education, wide reading, and long experience in the business Publick ... "(Wodrow of" Analecta "II, 205).
This book is "(l) to the products of joint authorship. In the first part and the logic of this famous work was executed by alliance Sir James Stewart of Goodtrees but bears the stamp of a mind of great vigor and scope. The narrative was written by the Rev. James Stirling of Paisley, whose memories form an interesting part of Wodrow of "Analecta.
In 1667 the Council issued a proclamation against Naphtali, ordering it to the flames. (Wod., II., 100.) All copies to be delivered until next judges, and a fine of ten thousand pounds Scots was the penalty inflicted on anyone in whose hands the book then it must be found. It passes through the flames unscathed only to become more expensive than ever to the heart of Scotland. Numerous editions have appeared, edited by names as honest as Dr. Henry Duncan, Ruthwell, Dr W. Wilson, Carmylie, and others ... The book was translated into Dutch in 1668 by the Rotterdam Borstius ...
The literature of the old alliance should not be judged by a severe aesthetic norm. During persecution, in fact, was largely restricted to the protests, statements and testimony of dying. In the latter, which are reflected in Naphtali and elsewhere, there is a some severe simplicity, purging, pathos and grandeur you move out of their depth. There are not many individual expressions that will take care of trading, the power is in all, and you can not help admiring the manly sense, spirit, peace, dignity and compassion that distinguished those who suffer to a degree so equal that you fancy a band of brothers "(quoted in Johnston," The Treasure of the Covenant of Scotland, pp 375 to 367).
An old gem of 554 pages.
