Rutherford's Due Right of Presbyteries

[Notthemama1984]

Is this book available for purchase anywhere or online without the old spelling and fonts?

 

[Wayne]

Nope. Looks like the online versions (GoogleBooks and Hathi Trust) both offer the 1644 edition, which of course employs the old fonts and spelling.

Time to scholar up and tough it out.

Usual experience is that after a few pages you start to get used to it, and by 20-30 pages out, you're doing fine.

Josh told me the same thing.

I've edited Rutherford's sermons to Parliament in London, he is by far the most difficult edit of those of the period I've worked on. So redoing Rutherford's works is no easy task and probably one reason we don't see modern editions of his works.As to Due Right, it has always seemed to me to be a poorly presented if not poorly organized work. It alsohas got to be one of if not the most notorious examples of misnumbering of pages from the era. There are several instances where for referencing say page A you would need to distinguish Aa,Ab, and Ac. The printer apologizes in a note. Amongst Rutherford's works it has maybe the messiest presentation.

Now I am even more excited to start reading it.

Paul's Presbytery is shorter and very well organized; tackling it first might help make it easier to get through D.R., and it was the earlier work of the two.

Is it available online as well? My SWRB stuff is in storage.

 

[NaphtaliPress]

Not sure. I couldn't find a copy on Google books.

Same here. It looks like I will need to dig out the SWRB.

What is SWRB?

 

[Notthemama1984]

Still Water Revival Books. They are a company who gathered quite a bit of puritan literature and sells the pdf versions.

While you're reading it, perhaps you can type it out too [then send Chris the Word document].
