This book is a vital text for any servant of God who wants to understand the way in which our Reformed Baptist forebears sought to apply the teaching of the Bible to the government of the church. This book shows us their firm conviction, that God had so provided for Christ's church on earth, that the correct form of church government could be drawn out from the Word of God. They were convinced that it was through applying the teaching of the Scriptures to the order and working of the local church that the glory of Christ would be all the more displayed.
