A Defense of the Government of the Church of Scotland
Samuel Rutherford, a Westminster divine, describes and defends from scripture the church government of the Church of Scotland in his day. It is an excellent, brief, overview of a four office view of church government, the calling and ordination of office bearers, and the Scottish practice of the administration of the Lord’s Supper. It also has helpful articulations of Biblical views of days of fasting, marriage, offering, church censures, private and family worship and spiritual conferencing. This work is a cleaned up version of Chapter 20 of his A Peaceable and Temperate Plea for Paul’s Presbytery in Scotland (London: 1642)
