Read about this puritan recently in Beake's A Puritan Theology: Doctrine for Life. In particular his work "A Golden Chain" sounds like it would be a great read. Would anyone else be interested in this Author?
Sounds like an awesome resource once it's finished! I wasn't aware of him until I read this book by Beeke. I checked Amazon for a Golden Chain and found this kindle version (I think it's the same work):

It also looks from what I could see that it is in more or less normal english! So someone must have done a little translation work on it! I would definitely much rather have it in Logos! I tried to search for the Beeke project but came up short. Hopefully they're still planning on it!
Would love to see his works and especially The Art of Prophesying

Yes, he's an important Puritan author. With all the other Puritan authors in the Logos catalog, it's surprising they don't have any by him.

Quite a number of them are available in Kindle editions.
Volume 1 of RHB's new edition of the works of Perkins is now available.
Any word of any more Perkins volumes coming? RHB have published 5 volumes and there's only 1 in Logos.
I'm using his commentary on Galatians at the minute, which is great, but would be nice to have it in Logos. It's in volume 2, as is his famous 'Art of Prophesying', of which Mark Barnes has said elsewhere:
<p>It's very odd we don't even have <em>The Art of Prophesying</em>.
