Development of the Scottish Psalter: Rev David Silversides
“Christians are to sing Psalms... Nevertheless, the question arises that if we are to sing the Biblical Psalms, is the ‘Scottish Psalter’ of 1650 a sufficiently careful and accurate translation for this purpose?”
In answering this question, Rev David Silversides considers: 1) The History of the Scottish Psalter; 2) Testimonies to its accuracy; 3) Examples of the care with which it was translated; and 4) The Scriptural aims of the translators.
Regeneration & the Regenerate Man » Therapeutica Sacra, Chp 3: David Dickson
“Regeneration (being one in effect with effectual calling) is the work of God’s invincible power and mere grace, wherein, by his Spirit accompanying his word, he quickened a redeemed person lying dead in his sins, and reneweth him in his mind, will, and all the powers of his soul; convincing him savingly of sin, righteousness, and judgment, and making him heartily to embrace Christ and salvation, and to consecrate himself to the service of God in Christ, all the days of his life.”
The Prisoner Judging All Parties » The Shadow of Calvary, Chp 7: Hugh Martin
“Jesus ultimately carries the matter to the highest court of all. ‘The cup that my Father hath given me to drink, shall I not drink it?’ He now makes his Father a party in the case. Hence this noble series of gradations by which Jesus brings this matter into relation with successive rights and agencies: the authorities on earth; the angels of heaven; the Scriptures of God, till he places it in immediate connection with the will of the Holy One of Israel - it is like that mystic ladder which the pilgrim father saw, which was ‘set upon the earth and the top of it reached to heaven, and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it; and, behold! Jehovah stood above it’.”
Christ’s Love and Loveliness » A Communion Table Address: Samuel Rutherford
“What a sight is our Lord Jesus going out of the gates of Jerusalem, and His cross upon His back! He went like to fall under it, He was so weak in body and weary in soul, when He went to the top of Mount Calvary. And all the time He saw black death before Him, and a curse. He was even then bearing God’s curse upon His back, and that was heavier than the cross.”
The Voice of My Beloved » Song of Solomon 2:8-17: Robert Murray M‘Cheyne
“Thus it was that the fallen Peter, when he had so grievously denied his Lord, yet, when brought again within sight of the Saviour, standing upon the shore, was the only one of the disciples who girt his fisher’s coat unto him, and cast himself into the sea to swim to Jesus; and. . . when again he had hidden himself in the clefts of the Rock of Ages, found that the love of Jesus was more tender towards him than ever.”
A Most Wholesome Counsel » Touching God’s Holy Word: John Knox
“The word of God is. . . the foundation of faith, without the which, no man understandeth the good will of God - so is it also the only organ and instrument which God useth to strengthen the weak, to comfort the afflicted, to reduce to mercy by repentance such as have slidden; and finally, to preserve and keep the very life of the soul, in all assaults and temptations.”
The Trial of a Saving Personal Inbeing in the Covenant of Grace: Thomas Boston
“But the question is, Whether ye have a saving interest in it, being actually come into it, or not? The covenant is indeed brought unto you, in the ordinances of the gospel: but are you brought into the covenant, united with the head thereof, Christ Jesus? It hath been administered to you: but have you by faith taken hold of it?. . . And for trial hereof, I offer the following marks, signs, or characters of those who are savingly and personally within the covenant of grace.”
