The Age of the Puritans Volume 1, by
This project is now complete. All audio files can be found on our catalog page: https://librivox.org/the-age-of-the-puritans-volume-1/
This volume of The Age of the Puritans begins with William Perkin's concise summary of Christian doctrine written in response to popular misconceptions of the time and Robert Rollock's scheme for logically dividing doctrine into key topics. Rollock then explains the relationship between the written Scriptures and what he terms the "lively voice" heard in other ages, pre-empting what would later become the Quaker-Puritan debates. <a href="https://librivox.org/author/15499">B.B. Warfield</a> gives a 'best of' John Arrowsmith's Armilla Catechetica (two of Arrowsmith's sermons to the English parliament during the First English Civil War appear at the end of this collection). William Perkins illuminates the book of 1 John by arranging it as a dialogue between the church and John with Perkins supplying the questions to which John is responding. This is followed by Stephen Charnock's and John Bunyan's dying aphorisms. William Ames (the Quaker, not to be confused with the theologian of the same name who died 30 years earlier) gives a general exhoration to "The Friends of Truth", the name used by the Quakers for themselves. William Perkins writes a treatise on faith. Protestant John Owen finally weighs in on the question of the permissability of remarriage after a case of divorce. (Summary by InTheDesert)

I'll be glad to set this up for you. Be right back with the MW.

Update: Ok, your MW is up. I'll check the sources and add the new authors a bit later.

It would be better to use a scan of the Robert Rollock volume that isn't missing the title page. How about this one?

Good point. Actually Princeton (who do very good Archive scans) have a much better version of the same thing:

Thanks Michael! Sorry for the extra work that a collection poses...

MW has been filled in.

No worries. It's a small fraction of the work you're putting into researching and recording these unique projects.

Hi there,

I think I would be interested in DPLing this for you. But it would be a lot easier to do if the reference URLs were in the same order as the sections in the MW, or better yet, inserted in the MW itself. :)

Just let me know what you think.

Wayne

P.S. Of course if Michele wants to keep working with you, that will be great.
I've got no DPL lined up at this stage. :) If you decide to, you can access all the texts from the MW (click on the magnifying glass) but since you've asked for it, I've put it into the publicly accessible MW. That said, you might find following along on the texts a little tedious because of the spelling.

This all works for me. I'm on board. Thanks for links in the MW. When I PL I always read along. I have done a lot of stuff in this time frame, and I don't think spelling will be a problem.


I will get started.

Thanks,

Wayne

Well, here is my first go at it:

Since I only had a short time this afternoon, I took the two shortest sections you have recorded.

I really enjoyed your reading. There are, however, a couple of things you might look at:

Section 2

3:47 Of the Churce of God, Which arises out of the blessings before specified You said 'On'. This comment only comes because of the structure of all of this list, each starting with 'Of' which also makes more sense in the sentence structure. However, as with all my notes, this is your call.

Section 7

7:41.5 To seek yourself in this world is to be lost ; and to be humble is to be exalted. I heard 'humbled'. I really think this one changes the meaning of the sentence. Is it not better to be 'humble' without having to be 'humbled'?

7:46.5 It is not every suffering that makes a martyr, You left out this phrase

12:14 When once a man is damned, he may bid adieu to all pleasures You left out the word 'once'.

Also a couple of general things. I noticed in the first post that the instructions as regards to the intro and outgo differ from the usual LV methods. Such things as not noting the "Section"number at the beginning, or again saying the name of the author with the title before starting the reading, as well as not giving the 'end of Section X' in the outgo. In the past, even in collections, these were given. Is this something special you are doing, or am I misremembering what I have done and heard as a DPLer in the past. Just a question so I know what I am looking for as a DPLer?

Keep up the good work and I will get to more of yours soon. It will probably be Tuesday due to other commitments between now and then. Looking forward to it.

Wayne

Edit: Could you set me up so I have access to the MW? Thanks

It looks fine to me. A similar format is used in the Short Nonfiction Collection.

Done, and moving the thread to Going Solo. :)

You comments on the set up sound logical to me. And thanks for the access. :D

I had time tonight to do section 3. Good reading and interesting text. There were few things that you might want to look at:

13:18 For that which is more perfect and full, that we are to write, to this end, that it may remain both for us and our posterity ; but that which is more imperfect, that we do not esteem worthy the writing, or to be reserved unto posterity You left out this phrase: but that which is more imperfect,

13:57.5 The third, from Christ and his Apostles, even unto the end, I heard “to

16:48 Repeat of “for even then the Church catholic came to man's estate and full growth,”

22:33 Now I would have you declare something unto me concerning the subject of this writing, and of the matter itself which is written ? You said “was

Keep up the good work. Should get to the last one tomorrow.
