… we read postings to the HBS which state dogmatically that Baptists are, or ought to be, neither Reformed or Protestant. Such subscribers see so much error in these two branches of the institutionalised establishments that they beg loudly to differ and proclaim a ‘better way’. Not all Baptists, however, agree and we have that school represented by members of the American Founders’ Journal and the British Reformation Today who affirm strongly that Baptists are, or ought to be, both …

New Cowper Book
Aug 21
… these words and show Cowper’s sufferings in the light of his deep faith. The small, inexpensive book, richly illustrated, is not so much a ‘Life’ as an attempt to trace all the influences which God exercised on Cowper to make him the great poetical preacher of God’s Word, Works and Ways.
G. M. Ella, Mülheim
… a yard-stick to judge my views. This is a very unstable basis to work on as the various, so-called Reformed bodies (which are often most popish) interpret Calvin differently and, indeed, it is not always their fault. Calvin is very much like Spurgeon and my favourite poet Cowper: they find friends in all camps. But the trouble occurs when these ‘friends’ cease to be friendly amongst themselves and cross-denomination-wise over their private interpretations. I do not use the term Calvinist …
… Sadly, the corrupt view of Reformation doctrine promoted in the declaration has crippled our Reformed churches and caused them to abandon the sovereignty of God in salvation, teaching humanistic natural law, common grace and duty faith as the activating means in all men to make them just before God. Thus we have the present error of leading men of the Reformed Establishment who are publicly exhorting us to drop our ‘all of grace’ theology and believe that justifying salvation is …
Cox and Knox
Nov 3
… Calvin’s letters, loosely translated and edited, referring to the Troubles at Frankfurt is the book of that name published anonymously in 1575. These documents point to certain difficulties amongst the English Refugees which were gradually solved in mutual love and cooperation. Four Parker Society volumes of letters also give evidence concerning the Reformed character of the Anglicans at Frankfurt and we have the testimonies of Bullinger, Martyr, Calvin, Beza and Gualter etc. to back this …

Christian Bennett’s Review
Aug 15
… kindly publish this letter which is a response to Christopher Bennett’s supposed review of my book. It must have been a very rushed affair as the reviewer obviously had not time to read the book. This seems typical of today’s would-be writers. I recently tracked down the Christian author of one review of my book on Fuller who also gave a lecture on the book in which he admitted, amidst jokes at my expense, that he had never read it. No remorse was shown, only a display of cheek. …
… for the Gospel Magazine and disinterest in the great work of God done through the pre-Rebellion Reformed Church of England. Hind’s simplistic etymology is used as an excuse for his lack of attention to the subject matter.
Rather than refute Toplady by praising Wesley, one must ask oneself which Christian stood nearest to Biblical, Reformed doctrine. Glossing over Wesley’s dishonesty against Calvinistic evangelists is an unhelpful argument from silence.

Clifford on Hooker
Nov 12
… Though not a Church of England minister, he pressed ambitiously for Parliament to replace the Reformed Book of Common Prayer by his Book of Discipline. Travers’ ‘puritan’ colleagues refused to follow him, never mind Parliament and the Church of England. Hooker wrote his mammoth Ecclesiastical Polity to show Travers and Cartwright how a Reformed Church actually worked.
Clifford’s Titus argument misses the point. Paul authorised Titus as a bishop to ‘set in order …
