Reformed Covenanter

Cancelled Commissioner
Our fathers were exposed to great peril, when they entered into covenant with God, 1643, London, in that immortal bond, known as the Solemn League and Covenant. The Pope, Urban VIII, had engaged all the Roman Catholic powers of Continental Europe in an impious confederacy against the Protestant church, and the cause of liberty in Britain. God blessed the Solemn League and Covenant to defeat their plans.

Our own times are fraught with danger to the church. The complexion, animating spirit, and administration of every civil government in the world is adverse to the government of Messiah, the Prince of the kings of the earth. “The Devil has come down, having great wrath, for he knoweth he hath but a short time.” All the organized systems of worship, as systems which are confederated with these bad thrones, give their power to the beast, in the war which the dragon wages with’ the Lamb. Messiah calls on all his followers to unite in solemn covenanting for the city of our God.
