The Thomas Watson Reading Room

From The Christian Soldier, or Heaven Taken by Storm

While this electronic version comes from an out of print edition with some slight editing, Northampton Press has published it under the title Heaven Taken by Storm. I highly recommend Northampton's version as the language and sentence structure have been modernized without losing Watson's style.
