This would make a good companion volume to Crosby's histories. I have a very unreadable pdf copy, but would love to see this important work on Logos.
Would it be possible to provide a link where one could view a copy of Morgan Edwards - The Customs of Primitive Churches ?
I got my copy from the Early English Books Online, but I think you have to have a subscription to access that site.
I don't know ... judging from how hard it is to find a copy, this resource must have been 'hidden' (as they say in the Pseudepigrapha) until Logos times! (At which time it will be revealed, if sufficient of the 'righteous' were to bid/order).
It's interesting the quest to locate a copy is not unusual on the web. Might be a good addition.
it's an interesting book with descriptions of colonial 'Baptist' churches (very different to their modern counterparts in many ways) and their practices--including some accounts of the use of anointing oil for healing.
The difference is one aspect I want to review. However, the anointing for healing is still very common in the modern counterparts (Jas 5:14)
It would be good to have a Primitive Baptist collection, with the works of Thomas Grantham, the Records of Broadmead, Morgan Edwards's Customs and his History of Primitive Churches, etc.
would you be willing to share the pdf copy, despite it being hard to read?
