SKETCHES

OF THE
COVENANTERS

BY

J.C. McFEETERS, D.D.

MINISTER OF
The Second Church of the Covenanters, Philadelphia,
    "That ye may tell it to the generations following;
    For this God is our God for ever and ever;
    He will be our guide even unto death."





THE UNCONQUERABLE COVENANTERS.

"We bind and obligate ourselves to defend ourselves and one another, in our worshiping of God, and in our natural, civil, and divine rights and liberties, till we shall overcome, or send them down under debate to posterity, that they may begin where we end."—Queensferry Paper.





PREFACE.

This book is a spontaneous growth, being without pre-meditation or original intention. A visit to Scotland was the embryo; out of this seed sprang a stereopticon lecture on "The Martyrs of Scotland;" the lecture developed into an illustrated serial which was published in the CHRISTIAN NATION; and the serial, at the request of many readers, developed into this volume. The book, therefore, was not originally contemplated; it is a providential growth, rather than a human conception; and we sincerely trust that it is one of God's eternal thoughts, blossoming in the sunlight of its own appointed time.

May our Lord Jesus Christ add His blessing, and commission these Sketches to do Him service and glorify His exalted name.

J.C.M.
Philadelphia, March 1, 1913.
