| Summary |
"Act, Declaration, & Testimony for the Whole of our Covenanted Reformation" by the Reformed Presbytery is a historical account likely written in the mid-19th century. This substantial work chronicles the principles and historical developments of the Reformed Presbyterian Church in Scotland, particularly emphasizing the period between 1638 and 1649, and it addresses the divergences that emerged over time from these original reforms. The text’s focus is on reaffirming and defending the church's covenanted principles, while also outlining the various deflections from this established reformation. The opening of this work presents a detailed introduction that explains the necessity for the presbytery to issue a judicial testimony to clarify their stances against various ecclesiastical and civil deviations that have occurred since the original covenants were established. It recounts the presbytery's struggles amid internal divisions and external pressures while reaffirming their commitment to doctrinal purity based on biblical foundations. The text emphasizes their historical context, illuminating the challenges faced by early reformers and the resolve to preserve their beliefs despite prevailing opposition, thereby underscoring the ongoing relevance of these principles in contemporary society and their commitment to resisting error and promoting true faith.
