Although many of you are probably coming here only with the intention of making use of some of the more popular resources provided, we would strongly urge you to take the time to read through the works listed below. These documents set forth the T<small>ESTIMONY OF</small> J<small>ESUS</small>. The cause for <em>Christ's Crown & Covenant</em> was laid down by the great majority of "Reformed" & "Presbyterians" soon after the Second Reformation. The one Synod remaining in America that continued to make some pretension at carrying on this Testimony has now abandoned all and espoused a course of defection and compromising with open deniers of the Gospel and Idolaters. On all sides we hear that "Revival" is necessary, but seldom does the Church confess her sins and acknowledge that "Reformation" is necessary. May God bless you in the consideration of the following articles, and may his grace fill your heart, compelling you to join in with this cause—the cause of Jesus, King of kings and Lord of lords.</p> <p><em>Documents of the Covenanted Reformed Presbyterian Church: Please read these prayerfully, search the scriptures, and help us to prosecute the cause for Christ's Crown & Covenant</em>. <ul> <p><a target="main" href="http://members.aol.com/RSIGRACE/wsc1.html">Shorter Catechism<br></a> <a target="main" href="http://www.swrb.com/newslett/actualNLs/WLC.htm">Larger Catechism<br></a> <a target="main" href="http://members.aol.com/RSICHURCH/wcf1.html">Confession of Faith</a><br> <a target="main" href="http://www.covenanter.org/Westminster/sumofsavingknowledge.htm">The Sum of Saving Knowledge</a><br> <a target="main" href="http://www.covenanter.org/Westminster/directoryforpublicworship.htm">Directory for Public Worship<br></a> <a target="main" href="http://www.covenanter.org/Westminster/formofpresbygov.htm">Form of Presbyterial Church Government</a> <a href="http://easyweb.easynet.co.uk/~jbeggsoc/jbswswc.html"><br></a> <a href="natcov.htm" target="main">National Covenant<br></a> <a href="slcov.htm" target="main">Solemn League & Covenant</a> and <a href="covenants/candcexhortwestassembly.html" target="_self">Exhortation by the Westminster Assembly</a><br> <a href="http://www.covenanter.org/RefPres/auchensaugh.htm" target="main">Renovation of Covenants, Auchensaugh, 1712.</a><br> <a href="http://www.covenanter.org/RefPres/actdeclarationandtestimony/acttitle.htm" target="main">Act, Declaration and Testimony, 1761.</a></p> </ul> <p><em>Documents of the United Societies</em> <ul> <p><a href="Rutherglen.html" target="_self">The Testimony published at Rutherglen, May 29, 1679</a><br> <a href="GlasgowDeclaration.html" target="_self">The Declaration published at Glasgow, June 13, 1679</a><br> <a href="qferry.htm" target="main">The Queensferry Paper</a><br> <a href="sanquhar.html" target="main">The Sanquhar Declaration of War - 1680</a><br> <a href="LanerkDeclaration.html" target="main">Declaration Published at Lanerk, January 12, 1682</a><br> <a href="apologeticdeclaration.html" target="main">The Apologetic Declaration, & Admonitory Vindication - October 28, 1684</a><br> <a href="Sanquharadmonitorydeclaration.html" target="main">The Protestation, & Apologetic Admonitory Declaration - Sanquhar, May 28, 1685</a></p> <p><a href="societies/informatory_vindication.html" target="main">The Informatory Vindication - 1687</a></p> <p><a href="prefacetodeclarations.html" target="main">Preface to the Following Declarations from 1692 to 1707</a><br> <a href="sanquhar1692.html" target="main">The Declaration of the True Presbyterian Church of Christ, in Scotland - 1692</a><br> <a href="protestation1695.html" target="main">The Protestation, Apologetic Declaration, & Admonitory Vindication - 1695</a><br> <a href="protestation1703.html" target="main">The Protestation, Apologetic Declaration, & Admonitory Vindication - 1703</a><br> <a href="http://www.covenanter.org/unitedsocieties/protestandtestagainstunion.htm" target="main">The Protestation and Testimony of the United Societies - 1707</a></p> </ul> <p><em>Documents of the Reformed Presbytery</em> <ul> <p><a HREF="deedcons.html" target="main">The "Preamble and Resolutions" and The Reformed Presbytery's "Deed of Constitution" of 1840</a></p> </ul> <p><em>Documents from after the dissolving of the Reformed Presbytery</em>, 1887.</p> <blockquote> <p><a href="reformedpresbyterian/reasons_for_maintaining_separate_standing.html" target="_self">A Statement of our Reasons for Maintaining our Separate Standing.
