This edition of The Reformed Pastor is based on the version described in William Brown’s 1829 Preface—a shortened, carefully edited edition (not Palmer’s 1766 abridgment) that removes material unrelated to the main subject and some dated controversy, with minor reordering (including moving “Motives to the Oversight of the Flock” into the main body) and light language correction without modernizing the style.
