Publisher’s Note<br />

It is hoped that our books will reintroduce many <strong>of</strong> today’s Calvinistic<br />

Baptists to <strong>the</strong> literary heritage <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir notable and largely forgotten<br />

forefa<strong>the</strong>rs, <strong>the</strong> Particular Baptists.<br />

Their written <strong>works</strong> were both spiritually rooted and <strong>the</strong>ologically<br />

driven. They <strong>of</strong>fer not only penetrating insights into God’s Word, but<br />

also a deep spirit <strong>of</strong> devotion to Christ.<br />

Our team <strong>works</strong> hard to provide <strong>the</strong> reader with unabridged, wordfor-word<br />

renditions <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se valuable <strong>works</strong> in new and durable<br />

formats. This means keeping <strong>the</strong> original spellings, punctuations, and<br />

sentence structures <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> originals even as we employ modern fonts<br />

and book binding techniques.<br />

For clarity, we also wish to inform our readers that our publishing <strong>of</strong><br />

an author’s <strong>works</strong> does not necessarily entail a complete endorsement<br />

<strong>of</strong> every doctrinal point held by that author. Our goal is to give our<br />

readers access to Particular Baptist sources which will edify <strong>the</strong> Church<br />

and continue <strong>the</strong> work <strong>of</strong> Baptist historiography, not to stifle our<br />

heritage in <strong>the</strong> hope <strong>of</strong> streng<strong>the</strong>ning present convictions.<br />

Finally, among <strong>the</strong> many pressing needs <strong>of</strong> Calvinistic Baptist churches<br />

today is <strong>the</strong> need to identify, recover, and preserve <strong>the</strong>ir rich literary<br />

heritage.<br />

If you agree, <strong>the</strong>re is a way for you to help. Our publishing ministry<br />

depends heavily upon financial partners eager to subsidize <strong>the</strong> cost <strong>of</strong><br />

republishing <strong>the</strong>se valuable <strong>works</strong>.<br />
