The source for many of the works transcribed here is the Early English Books Online (EEBO) project. English books from long ago have been scanned and deposited in EEBO repository. Unfortunately, the EEBO repository is not available to the public, however, many universities subscribe to the project and you may be able to access EEBO from a local university library. I have the privledge of being able to access EEBO through my association with the University of Sydney.
The titles transcribed here are not in any particular order of significance or merit. I have in some cases to choosen titles that were written by those who were subscribers to the 1677/89 Baptist Confession of Faith.
The texts have preserved most of the orginal spelling, apart from distinguishing between an "f" "s", which in literature of the time were both represented by "f".
