The Act, Declaration, And Testimony, For The Whole Of The Covenanted Reformation by the Reformed Presbytery upholds the original work of the Westminster Assembly and testifies to the abiding worth and truth formulated in the Westminster family of documents (The Westminster Confession of Faith, The Westminster Shorter Catechism, The Westminster Larger Catechism, etc.).

It upholds and defends the crown rights of King Jesus in church and state, denouncing those who would remove the crown from Christ's head by denying His right to rule (by His law) in both the civil and ecclesiastical spheres.

The Act, Declaration, And Testimony, For The Whole Of The Covenanted Reformation also testifies to the received doctrine, government, worship, and discipline of the Church of Scotland in her purest (reforming) periods and applies God's Word to the Church's corporate attainments. It, "is an instrument, which merits attention, from the time, in which it was written; the character, circumstances and faithfulness of the compilers; its parts, lucid declaration, and pointed argument. --To evidence regard to the injunction, Song 1:8; to exemplify the resolution of the Psalmist, Ps. 77:12; and tell to the generation following, Ps. 48:13; 145:4, a historical view of the church, in Scotland, from A.D. 300 till 1688, is given: with a judicial approbation of the earnest contendings and attainments of the faithful, and a strong and pointed judicial condemnation of error and the promoters thereof.

This retrospective view furnishes matter for the young and for the aged disciple, to contemplate their glorious Lord, in providential procedure, towards his own people; -- to distinguish between the providential and preceptive will of God; to estimate his people as weighed in the balances of the sanctuary; -- and their own profession, covenant and organic identity with the faithful, who have gone before.

Argument of principle, arising from historical facts, follows; and the document closes with doctrinal declaration in testamentary and polemic form" (The Original Covenanter and Contending Witness magazine, Dec. 17, 1993, pp. 557-558). Shows the church's great historical victories (such as the National and Solemn League and Covenant, leading to the Westminster Assembly) and exposes her enemies actions (e.g. the Prelacy of Laud; the Independency, sectarianism, covenant breaking and ungodly toleration set forth by the likes of Oliver Cromwell [and the Independents that conspired with him]; the Erastianism and civil sectarianism of William of Orange, etc.).

It is not likely that you will find a more consistent working out of the principles of Calvinism and the sovereignty of God anywhere. Deals with the most important matters relating to the individual, the family, the church and the state. Sets forth a faithful historical testimony of God's dealings with men during some of the most important days of church history.

A basic text that should be mastered by all Christians.
