What it is
Drafted in four days for the Scottish parliament, warm and narrative in style, defining the marks of the true church as the word preached, the sacraments rightly used, and discipline exercised.
Why it lasted
The founding confession of the Scottish Reformation, and the doctrinal standard of the Kirk until Westminster replaced it.
Where to read it
Public domain and free to read in full, though not held here. The archives below have it.
These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
