  Rheims New Testament (1582)

(An 1834 Reprint of the Original 1582 Annotated Edition)

The Rheims New Testament presented here is an 1834 Protestant reprint of the 1582 Rheims New Testament (annotated edition). It contains the original translation and preface, and the notes and annotation that were included in the 1582 volume prepared by the English College at Rheims. The Testament is a translation made by the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits), as a tool of the Counter Reformation. The Jesuit translation was provided under the direction of Gregory Martin, an Englishman and the chief linguist at Rheims, who was an outspoken Catholic apologist and controversialist. The annotations in the Rhemish Testament were provided under the direction of Nicholas Saunders (Jesuit), a controversialist dedicated to countering the historical and scriptural proofs of the Reformation.

  "H KAINH ΔIAΘHKH. Novum Testamentum Graecum

Accedunt Parallela S. Scripturae Loca Necnon Vetus Capitulorum Notatio et Canones Eusebii" (Greek New Testament) by Johann Albrecht Bengel or Johanne Alberti Bengelii (1687-1752ad, Lutheran divine of Württemberg, Germany). Greek New Testament (1734 Tübingen & Stuttgart, Bengelii Novi Testamenti) and Eusebius Canonum (Canonibus Eusebii), 1836 Edition.

"Monitum. Damus tibi in manus, L. B. Novum Testamentum idem profecto, quod ad textum attinet, cum ed. Milliana, cum divisione Pericoparum, et Interpunctura J. A. Bengelii. Accedunt praeterea Parallela S. Scripturae loca secundum editionem Curcellaei, et Epistola ad Carpianum cum Canonibus Eusebii. Et de hac nostra editione, etsi nihil novi aut quod ad rem criticam pertinet moliti sumus, pauca tamen in usum juniorum liceat praefari. Et primo, de Bengelii Pericopis ipse Bengelius audiatur: 'Divisio,' ait, 'in Capita, haec quidem, qua hodie utimur, Graecis ignota fuit, et in Latinis codicibus primum, iisque Manuscriptis, deinde in impressis exstitit; dehinc in editiones N. T. Graeco-Latinas immigravit; postremo mere Graecis adhaesit. Divisionem in versiculos a Roberto Stephano introductam esse, constat. ..."

  "The Prophet Jonah with An Introduction

by William Tyndale" (Originally Published in 1531)

QUOTE: "The scripture contains three things in it: first the law to condemn all flesh: secondarily, the Gospel that is to save, promises of mercy for all that repent and acknowledge their sins at the preaching of the law and consent in their hearts that the law is good and submit themselves to be scholars to learn to keep the law and to learn to believe the mercy that is promised them: and thirdly, the stories and lives of those scholars both what chances fortuned them and also by what means their schoolmaster taught them and made them perfect and how he tried the true from the false.”

Purchase from the BOOKSTORE The Martyrdom of a People or The Vaudois of Piedmont and their History by Henry Fliedner “The Light Shines in Darkness." A Christian History and Martyrology: Henry Fliedner's work offers a concise history of those known as the Vaudois or Waldensians—Christians of the pre-Reformation era. Fliedner traces their Bible only (Sola Scriptura) faith, and the horrific persecutions they endured, from ancient times to the early 1900's. "They often travelled on horseback in different countries as hawkers, and, thanks to their bales of goods, obtained access to the rich and poor. ... While the merchant was doing business, he would observe the character of his customers, and when, at the end, they asked if he had anything else to sell, he would reply, 'Certainly, I have treasures much more precious than those which you have seen. ... a jewel which shines with such brightness, that it enables one to see, and to come to the knowledge of God.' ... The merchant then drew out of his pocket, or from a secret drawer of his travelling chest, a Gospel, and commenced to read." ... In this way the Vaudois found a means of spreading the Word of God more and more. ... What wonderful results might this seed-time have produced, if the storm of persecution had not broken out, reducing almost to naught the people of God. - Henry Fliedner Buy Now >>

Purchase from the BOOKSTORE The Mute Christian under the Smarting Rod by Thomas Brooks first published in 1659 Thomas Brooks first published this work in 1659 as the expression of his own experience under trials and afflictions and as an encouragement and an admonition to others. Here afflictions, trials, temptations, and human weakness are set in the balance against Scriptural knowledge in an exhortation to faith and the humble acceptance and profiting of the children of God under the disciplining hand of a God who would be known as our Father: “Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness. Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.” Hebrews 12:9-11. And as recorded in the Psalms, “My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him. His seed also will I make to endure forever, and his throne as the days of heaven. If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments; if they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments; then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes. Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail. My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.” Psalms 89:28-34.

Purchase from the BOOKSTORE The Marriage Ring or How to Make Home Happy by John Angell James with a sermon on marriage by John Owen "As the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it." - Ephesians 5:24-25 An exhortation on Christian Marriage and its Duties. The secret of happiness lies folded up in the leaves of the Bible and is carried in the heart of true religion. A good Christian cannot be a bad husband or father and, as this is equally true in everything, he who has the most piety will shine the most in all the relationships of life. A Bible placed between man and wife as the basis of their union, the rule of their conduct, and the model of their spirit will make up for many differences between them, comfort them under many crosses, guide them through many straits, support them in their last sad parting from one another and reunite them in that happy world where they shall remain forever. Let the two parties in wedded life be believers in Christ Jesus and partake themselves of the peace that surpasses understanding. And if happiness is to be found on earth, it will be enjoyed within the hallowed circle of a family thus united by love and sanctified by grace.
