Excerpt from Additional Answer to the Libel: With Some Account of the Evidence That Parts of the Pentateuchal Law Are Later Than the Time of Moses In my previous Answer to the Form of Libel now before the Free Church Presbytery of Aberdeen, I replied in detail to the charge of publishing doctrines contradictory or opposed to the doctrines set forth in Scripture and the Confession, but rested my defence against the alternative charges on the constitutional plea that these are in their own nature incompetent. The Presbytery has sustained my defence against the first and gravest charge, but, by the vote of 14th March, my objections to the competency of the second alternative were overborne, and it has been found, by a majority of voices, that in the opinion of the Presbytery an office-bearer, who has been acquitted of the charge of publishing opinions which contradict or are opposed to doctrines set forth in the Scriptures and the Confession of Faith, may be tried on the alternative charge of publishing "opinions which are in themselves of a dangerous and unsettling tendency in their bearing on the doctrines," which they cannot be shown to contradict. Appeals have been taken against this finding, but meantime the Presbytery proceeds to apply its abstract decision, and it falls to be considered whether the charge which has been found relevant in the abstract can, under the Libel, be brought home to me. The procedure of the Presbytery, in considering this question, will still be regulated by the resolution adopted on the 14th of February, to discuss the details of the Libel seriatim.
