The Order of Salvation and Damnation
The manner in which men are saved.
The following Table of Contents will grow
with time as I am able to transpose the cryptic old English Text of the
following MSS by Perkins. The volume is actually a series of
small books collected together. This first book is the Golden
Chain, or the Causes of Salvation and Damnation. My long term goal is to publish this book
with one of the leading Puritan based publishers. But for now, I will
offer the work in parts, in all the unedited barbarisms of the 17th
century language, as I am able on this website. The following
sections from William Perkin's writings are not found anywhere else in
the world except for the actual writings themselves in the 1608 edition
of his works. The only writing we have in print is the Banner of
Truth copy of the Art
of Prophesying, which is excellent. But I will endeavor,
if God so enables me, to transcribe as much as possible. Enjoy! CMM
